    Abstract Intrauterine growth restriction significantly impacts perinatal outcomes. Undetected IUGR escalates the risk of adverse outcomes. Serial symphysis-fundal height measurement, a recommended strategy, is insufficient in detecting abnormal fetal growth. Routine third-trimester ultrasounds significantly improve detection rates compared with this approach, but direct high-quality evidence supporting enhanced perinatal outcomes from routine scanning is lacking. In assessing fetal growth, abdominal circumference alone performs comparably to estimated fetal weight. Hadlock formulas demonstrate accurate fetal weight estimation across diverse gestational ages and settings. When choosing growth charts, prescriptive standards (encompassing healthy pregnancies) should be prioritized over descriptive ones. Customized fetal standards may enhance antenatal IUGR detection, but conclusive high-quality evidence is elusive. Emerging observational data suggest that longitudinal fetal growth assessment could predict adverse outcomes better. However, direct randomized trial evidence supporting this remains insufficient.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic yield of exome sequencing (ES) above that of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) or karyotyping in fetuses with isolated fetal growth restriction (FGR). This was a systematic review conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Selected studies included those with (a) only fetuses with FGR in the absence of fetal structural anomalies and (b) negative CMA or karyotyping results. Only positive variants classified as likely pathogenic or pathogenic determined as causative of the fetal phenotype were considered. A negative CMA or karyotype result was treated as the reference standard. Eight studies with data on ES diagnostic yield, including 146 fetuses with isolated FGR, were identified. Overall, a pathogenic variant determined as potentially causative of the fetal phenotype was found in 17 cases, resulting in a 12% (95% CI: 7%-18%) incremental performance pool of ES. The vast majority were studied before 32 weeks'gestation. In conclusion, a monogenic disorder was prenatally found in association with apparently isolated FGR in 12% of these fetuses.

    Abstract Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of type of pregnancy (singleton, dizygotic, and monozygotic) on infant neurodevelopment and to explore how laterality operates in this relationship.
    Methods: We constructed a prospective cohort of low-risk women with singleton, monozygotic, and dizygotic pregnancies. Laterality was evaluated using the Edinburgh's scale of laterality, while neurodevelopment was assessed using the Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ). The confounding, modifying, and mediating effect of laterality on the relationship between multiple pregnancy and neurodevelopment was explored by linear regression.
    Results: We included 207 singletons, 77 dizygotic, and 75 monozygotic pregnancies. The mean age (SD) at assessment of neurodevelopment was 48.5 (7.5) months. There was a significant trend to poorer neurodevelopment across singleton, dizygotic and monozygotic pregnancies in communication (52.2, 47.6 and 42.3;
    Conclusion: The association of multiple pregnancy to poorer neurodevelopment was independent of children laterality.

    Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of quantitative ultrasound of fetal lung texture analysis in predicting neonatal respiratory morbidity (NRM) in twin pregnancies. This was an ambispective study involving consecutive cases. Eligible cases included twin pregnancies between 27.0 and 38.6 weeks of gestation, for which an ultrasound image of the fetal thorax was obtained within 48 h of delivery. Images were analyzed using quantusFLM

    Abstract Background: The persistent changes in cardiac structure and function in children who survived twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome remain a matter of concern and controversy. Current fetal echocardiographic parameters and their postnatal evolution can help improve our understanding of the subject.
    Objective: To describe the echocardiographic changes of monochorionic fetuses affected by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, the recipient and the donor, before and after laser photocoagulation and to determine their evolution in the third trimester and during their first year of life.
    Study design: An observational study was conducted including 55 uncomplicated monochorionic diamniotic twins and 78 pairs with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, 44 stage I-II and 34 stage III-IV, prospectively enrolled from 2015 until 2018. Comprehensive echocardiography was performed at 4 time periods: before laser photocoagulation, at 24 to 72 hours after surgery, at 28 to 30 weeks of gestation, and at 6 to 12 months after birth. Echocardiographic parameters were transformed to z-scores or indexed for heart area, estimated fetal weight, or body mass surface.
    Results: At diagnosis, recipients in all stages presented larger hearts (cardiothoracic ratio z-score: 2.77 [0.8] vs controls: -0.03 [0.5]; P<.001) and signs of ventricular hypertrophy (left end-diastolic ventricle wall thickness: 2.68 [0.7] vs controls -0.03 [0.7]; P<.001), along with systolic (cardiac index recipients: 317 [114] mL/min/kg vs controls: 400 [120] mL/min/kg, P<.001) and diastolic impairment (isovolumetric relaxation time z-score: 2.76 [0.6] vs controls: 0.05 [0.6]; P<.001). Donors presented smaller ventricular areas and diameters when compared with controls (left end-diastolic ventricle area z-score: -1.48 [1] vs 0.03 [0.9]; P<.001), along with decreased longitudinal motion (tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion z-score: -0.9 [1] vs controls -0.04 [1]; P<.001) and shorter ejection time z-score (-1.5 [0.7] vs controls: 0.0 [0.7]; P<.001). After surgery, an improvement in functional parameters was observed in both fetuses, whereas most morphometric changes prevailed in donors and recipients in the prenatal period. Postnatally, cardiac remodeling persisted in recipients (left relative wall thickness: 0.34 [0.02] vs controls: 0.30 [0.02]; P<.001), whereas donors mainly presented a decreased longitudinal motion in infancy (tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion z-score: -0.72 [0.7] vs controls: 0.23 [0.9]; P<.05).
    Conclusion: Cardiac remodeling is present in both fetuses at the twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome diagnosis, whereas diastolic dysfunction is only significant in the recipient. Fetal therapy improves most echocardiographic parameters, although postnatally, the echocardiographic changes persist in both fetuses.

    Abstract Objective: To create prescriptive standards of cardiac morphometric and functional parameters in a cohort of uncomplicated monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins.
    Method: Fetal echocardiography was performed in a cohort of uncomplicated monochorionic twin fetuses scanned longitudinally, including comprehensive morphometric and functional parameters, using 2-D imaging, M-mode and conventional Doppler. A multilevel polynomial hierarchical model adjusted by gestational age and estimated fetal weight was used to fit each cardiac parameter.
    Results: The global heart dimensions including the atrial and ventricular areas, the ventricles dimensions and myocardial wall thicknesses and most of the functional parameters, such as the longitudinal myocardial motion and the biventricular cardiac output showed a positive quadratic increment throughout pregnancy. On the other hand, the left ejection fraction, shortening fraction and right fractional area change decreased with gestational age. Scatterplots for the main structural and functional parameters and ratios by gestational age, with mean, 5th, 10th, 90th, and 95th percentiles are provided. Regression equations by estimated fetal weight are also created.
    Conclusion: We provide specific comprehensive echocardiographic prescriptive standards for uncomplicated MCDA twin fetuses following current standardized methodology. The implementation of these charts will potentially help to better identify abnormal cardiovascular parameters associated to monochorionic complications.
