Establishing Modern Birth Weight Centiles for Twins in the United States
In a modern cohort of neonates, our twin reference provides improved classification of birth weight percentiles over the existing Alexander reference and over the Fenton reference for preterm neonates. Our singleton reference is a useful addition for studies that examine birth weight centiles among both twins and singletons because it is derived from the same underlying population as the twin reference.
