Abstract

A policy of expectant management until 32 weeks of gestation in 29 dichorionic pregnancies discordant for growth retardation resulted in an overall mortality of 24% (95% CI 13.9–37.2%) and a handicap of 2.2% (95% CI 0–12.0%). None of the normally grown co-twins died or was handicapped as a result of iatrogenic prematurity.
