Intertwin nuchal translucency difference predicts the chance of co-twin death after fetal reduction in dichorionic triplet pregnancies: a retrospective analysis study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To compare the clinical outcomes of different multifetal pregnancy reduction (MFPR) programs in dichorionic (DC) triplets, and explore the association between early ultrasound characteristics and co-twin death after potassium chloride (KCl) injection into one monochorionic (MC) twin.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the data of DC triplets who underwent MFPR at our center during 2012-2021. Patients were grouped as follows: intracardiac KCl injection into one MC twin (group A), intracardiac KCl injection into both MC twins simultaneously (group B), and reduction of the singleton fetus (group C) and pregnancy outcomes were compared. Logistic regression was used to determine whether ultrasound measurements at 11-13⁺⁶ weeks predicted co-twin death and th
