Growth trajectories in monochorionic and dichorionic twins with weight discordance: a cohort study
• Head circumference z-scores in smaller twins caught up more quickly than length and weight z-scores, suggesting different rates of catch-up growth in different growth parameters. • Growth differences between dichorionic discordant twins persist longer than in monochorionic twins, but by 36 months, no differences remained in any growth parameter.
