MCDA complications and their diagnostic criteria.

Ultrasound Parameters Diagnostic Criteria Complications
Amniotic fluid discordance DVP < 2 cm and >8 (<20 weeks) or >10 (>20 weeks) cm Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS)
Fetal biometry and Doppler -EFW < 3rd centile in one twin OR
>2 criteria among
-EFW and/or AC < 10th percentile
-UA PI > 95th percentile
-EFW discordance > 25%
Selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR)
MCA-PSV MCA-PSV > 1.5 MoM in one twin and <1 MoM in the other Twin anemia polycythemia syndrome (TAPS)

DVP = deepest vertical pocket; EFW = estimated fetal weight; AC = abdominal circumference; UA = umbilical artery; PI = pulsatility index; MCA = middle cerebral artery; PSV = peak systolic velocity; MoM = multiple of medians.
