First, to evaluate the risks of stillbirth and neonatal death by gestational age in twin pregnancies with different levels of growth discordance and in relation to small for gestational age (SGA), and on this basis to establish optimal gestational ages for delivery. Second, to compare these optimal gestational ages with previously established optimal delivery timing for twin pregnancies not complicated by fetal growth restriction, which, in a previous individual patient meta-analysis, was calculated at 37 0/7 weeks of gestation for dichorionic pregnancies and 36 0/7 weeks for monochorionic pregnancies.
A search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Ovid between 2015 and 2018 was performed of cohort studies reporting risks of stillbirth and neonatal death in twin pregnancies from 32 to 41 weeks of gestation. Studies from a previous meta-analysis using a similar search strategy (from inception to 2015) were combined. Women with monoamniotic twin pregnancies were excluded.
Overall, of 57 eligible studies, 20 cohort studies that contributed original data reporting on 7,474 dichorionic and 2,281 monochorionic twin pairs.
TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS: We performed an individual participant data meta-analysis to calculate the risk of perinatal death (risk difference between prospective stillbirth and neonatal death) per gestational week. Analyses were stratified by chorionicity, levels of growth discordance, and presence of SGA in one or both twins. For both dichorionic and monochorionic twins, the absolute risks of stillbirth and neonatal death were higher when one or both twins were SGA and increased with greater levels of growth discordance. Regardless of level of growth discordance and birth weight, perinatal risk balanced between 36 0/7-6/7 and 37 0/7-6/7 weeks of gestation in both dichorionic and monochorionic twin pregnancies, with likely higher risk of stillbirth than neonatal death from 37 0/7-6/7 weeks onward.
Growth discordance or SGA is associated with higher absolute risks of stillbirth and neonatal death. However, balancing these two risks, we did not find evidence that the optimal timing of delivery is changed by the presence of growth disorders alone.

首先,评估不同生长不一致程度和与小于胎龄儿(SGA)相关的双胎妊娠的死产和新生儿死亡风险,并在此基础上确定最佳分娩孕周。其次,将这些最佳分娩孕周与之前未合并胎儿生长受限的双胎妊娠的最佳分娩时机进行比较,在之前的个体患者荟萃分析中,双绒毛膜妊娠的最佳分娩时机为 37 周零 7 天,单绒毛膜妊娠为 36 周零 7 天。
对 2015 年至 2018 年间 MEDLINE、EMBASE、ClinicalTrials.gov 和 Ovid 进行了搜索,检索了报道从 32 周至 41 周妊娠的双胎妊娠死产和新生儿死亡风险的队列研究。对使用类似搜索策略(从开始到 2015 年)的先前荟萃分析的研究进行了合并。排除了单羊膜双胎妊娠的女性。
在 57 项符合条件的研究中,共有 20 项队列研究提供了原始数据,共纳入 7474 对双绒毛膜和 2281 对单绒毛膜双胎。
表格、综合和结果:我们进行了一项个体参与者数据荟萃分析,以计算每孕周围产儿死亡的风险(前瞻性死产和新生儿死亡之间的风险差异)。分析按绒毛膜性、生长不一致程度分层,以及一个或两个双胞胎是否存在 SGA。对于双绒毛膜和单绒毛膜双胞胎,当一个或两个双胞胎为 SGA 时,死产和新生儿死亡的绝对风险更高,并且随着生长不一致程度的增加而增加。无论生长不一致程度和出生体重如何,双绒毛膜和单绒毛膜双胞胎的围产期风险在 36 周零 7-6/7 天和 37 周零 7-6/7 天之间平衡,从 37 周零 7-6/7 天开始,死产风险可能高于新生儿死亡风险。
生长不一致或 SGA 与更高的死产和新生儿死亡绝对风险相关。然而,平衡这两个风险,我们没有发现仅存在生长障碍会改变最佳分娩时机的证据。
