Evaluation of the CHOP cardiovascular score as a prognostic predictor of outcome in twin–twin transfusion syndrome after laser coagulation of placental vessels in a prospective cohort

Abstract

Cardiac function assessment using the CHOP score is not of clinical use as a prognostic marker in TTTS. This suggests that cardiac function may not be of interest for preoperative staging when laser coagulation is the first-line treatment, other than to confirm the diagnosis of TTTS requiring surgery.
