Fetal biometry reference ranges derived from prospective twin population and evaluation of adverse perinatal outcome
In this analysis of data from the prospective ESPRiT cohort study, we confirm significant differences between twin fetal growth patterns and singleton standards, consistent with previous studies. Our results also offer some validation of the new FMF reference for EFW in twins. The outcome-based evidence from this study suggests that a twin-specific growth reference should be used in preference to a singleton chart for fetal growth evaluation in twin pregnancy. © 2025 The Author(s).
