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 (%).
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).
n=41 for all and n=25 for SFGR comparison due to missing data regarding tobacco use.
n = 26 for all and n = 15 for SFGR comparison due to missing data regarding use of assisted reproductive technology.
n = 70 for all due to exclusion of three pregnancies with spontaneous intrauterine fetal demise followed by elective termination of pregnancy.
