Abstract

Compared with the STORK chorionicity-specific twin charts, the customized and non-customized singleton charts classified prenatally as SGA more liveborn fetuses. However, the three charts classified as SGA a similar proportion of stillborn cases. Our preliminary results suggest that these twin charts could safely reduce unnecessary medical intervention in twin pregnancies. Further research on the topic is needed before clinical recommendations can be made. Copyright © 2018 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
