Comparative sonographic measurement of the fetal thymus size in singleton and twin pregnancies
The results indicate that factors related to preterm birth, rather than the number of fetuses, are likely to influence the TTR. Utilizing fetal thymus size in ultrasound screening may hold potential for predicting adverse events like preterm birth in both singleton and twin pregnancies, but only in addition to other variables.
