OUTCOMES IN EXTREMELY PREMATURE INFANTS WITH TWIN-TWIN TRANSFUSION SYNDROME TREATED BY LASER THERAPY

Abstract Twin pregnancies and fetal therapies are associated with increased risk of preterm delivery. Limited literature exists on outcomes for extremely preterm infants born in the context of a pregnancy complicated with twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). To compare mortality of preterm newborn...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Twin pregnancies and fetal therapies are associated with increased risk of preterm delivery. Limited literature exists on outcomes for extremely preterm infants born in the context of a pregnancy complicated with twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). To compare mortality of preterm newborns who received laser therapy for TTTS to preterm controls born in the context of a dichorionic-diamniotic (di-di) pregnancy. Secondary outcomes are: short-term neonatal morbidities and neurodevelopmental measures at 18 months of corrected gestational age (cGA). Case-control retrospective study of all twins infant born
