Abbreviations: GA, gestational age; ITWD, intertwin weight discordance; MCDA, monochorionic diamniotic; SFGR, selective fetal growth restriction. Note: Continuous variables presented as median (interquartile range) and categorical variables as n (%).

a

n = 34 for this analysis due to inclusion of only those with adequate UCSF ultrasound follow-up to assess for development of SFGR (defined as last UCSF ultrasound within 4 weeks of delivery).

b

n=41 for all and n=25 for SFGR comparison due to missing data regarding tobacco use.

c

n = 26 for all and n = 15 for SFGR comparison due to missing data regarding use of assisted reproductive technology.

d

n = 70 for all due to exclusion of three pregnancies with spontaneous intrauterine fetal demise followed by elective termination of pregnancy.
