The hidden mortality of monochorionic twin pregnancies
Abstract
In an ultrasound screening study at 10 to 14 weeks of gestation for measurement of fetal nuchal translucency thickness there were 102 monochorionic and 365 dichorionic twin pregnancies. In the monochorionic compared with the dichorionic pregnancies there was a higher rate of fetal loss before 24 weeks of gestation (12.2%versus 1.8%), perinatal mortality (2.8%versus 1.6%), prevalence of delivery before 32 weeks (9.2%versus 5.5%), and prevalence of birthweight below the 5th centile in both twins (7.5%versus 1.7%). However, the proportion of pregnancies with a birthweight discordancy of more than 25% was similar in the two groups (11.3%versus 12.1%).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
