Mode of conception was not a risk factor for preterm delivery in discordant
dichorionic pregnancies ([chi square]=1.417;p=0.23).
A total of 32 studies were included in the analysis, with 29,685
dichorionic and 5,486 monochorionic pregnancies in 35,171 women.
Our objective was to determine the rate and degree of growth discordance in pregnancy with
dichorionic twins conceived by IVF compared to those conceived spontaneously and to assess association of the growth discordance with adverse perinatal outcome.

dichorionic diamniotic; SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism; MCDA, monochorionic diamniotic; MCMA, monochorionic monoamniotic.
Selective feticide in
dichorionic pregnancies with intracardiac blood aspiration: report of nine cases.
Middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity in monochorionic and
dichorionic twin pregnancies.
In cases of selective IUGR in
dichorionic pregnancies the healthy fetus will dictate management until the intact survival of that fetus is certain, and then the sick fetus will determine when to deliver.
Depending on the time of developmental division, monozygotic twins may have a monochorionic placenta or a
dichorionic placenta.
Endoscopic placental laser coagulation in
dichorionic and monochorionic triplet pregnancies.
Cases of both monochorionic diamniotic and
dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies were included.
Hydatidiform mole with coexisting live fetus in
dichorionic twin gestation.
Although the majority of these pregnancies are uncomplicated, monochorionic twins are significantly more likely than
dichorionic twins to incur complications that can threaten the life and health of one or both fetuses.
