“…In this study, we found that as an infant aged, there was apparent progression towards normal in the AB, LD and PS domains, and away from normal in the GM and FM domains. This is somewhat in line with previous studies that found that motor development trails sensory development (Nan et al., ). Moreover, a low stability and continuous increase in motor development have been observed during the first 12 months of age in LBW preterm infants (Janssen et al., ; Kayenne & Linhares, ).…”

“…Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratios (OR) for impairment. The statistical analyses were adjusted for the relatedness of twins and for confounders: age at follow-up; ASQ form; GA at birth; birthweight; sex, and maternal education, as appropriate [20,22,32].…”

“…It has been shown that MC twins have a higher rate of NDI [22] than the general population. In our study, the CP rate was 1% in the control group compared to 0.24% in the general Danish population [38].…”

“…Severe neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) is reported to occur in 8-15% [11,15,17,18] of children after fetoscopic laser surgery or selective feticide and is believed to be influenced by TTTS itself [19], gestational age (GA) at delivery, and birthweight [20]. Some studies suggest that twinning and monochorionicity may increase the risk of neurologic disabilities [21][22][23]. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of severe NDI in MC twins treated for TTTS by either fetoscopic selective laser coagulation (FSLC) or selective feticide by ultrasound-guided umbilical cord occlusion (UCO) in a consecutive Danish national cohort and to compare the incidence of severe NDI with a control group of MC twins from uncomplicated pregnancies.…”

Long-Term Neurodevelopmental Outcome of Monochorionic Twins after Laser Therapy or Umbilical Cord Occlusion for Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome

et al. 2018

Introduction: We sought to assess the incidence of severe neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) in monochorionic twins treated for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and compare it to the incidence in uncomplicated monochorionic twins. Material and Methods: We included TTTS pregnancies treated by fetoscopic selective laser coagulation (FSLC) or umbilical cord occlusion (UCO) in 2004–2015. Primary outcome was severe NDI defined as cerebral palsy, bilateral blindness or bilateral deafness (ICD-10 diagnoses), and severe cognitive and/or motor delay (assessed by the Ages and Stages Questionnaires [ASQ]). Results: A total of 124 children after TTTS and 98 controls were followed up at 25 months of age (SD 11.4). Severe NDI was found in 8.9% of the TTTS children (10.5% [9/86] after FSLC; 5.3% [2/38] after UCO) compared to 3.1% in the control group (p = 0.10). The odds ratio for severe NDI was 1.8 in cases versus controls (p = 0.37). The total ASQ score was significantly lower in the TTTS group than in controls (p = 0.03) after FSLC (p = 0.03) and after UCO (p = 0.14). Discussion: Children after TTTS appear to have a higher risk of severe NDI and score significantly lower on the ASQ compared to monochorionic twins from uncomplicated pregnancies.

Discordancia de peso al nacer en gemelos: consecuencias y su perdurabilidad en el desarrollo psicológico

Cada vez nacen más gemelos con discordancia de peso intrapar, factor de riesgo que puede afectar su desarrollo, especialmente el del hermano de menor peso intrapar. Sin embargo, pocos estudios abordan sus posibles disfunciones más allá de las obstétricas; de modo que el conocimiento acerca de las consecuencias de la discordancia de peso intrapar en su desarrollo psicológico es escaso. Este trabajo revisa la literatura y recapitula las consecuencias de la discordancia de peso intrapar en el desarrollo psicológico de los gemelos de menor peso intrapar, comparativamente a sus hermanos de más peso, así como la perdurabilidad de dichas consecuencias durante su ciclo vital. La literatura revisada muestra que los gemelos de menor peso intrapar obtienen puntuaciones inferiores a sus hermanos en habilidades cognitivas, verbales y psicomotoras; y mayor probabilidad de presentar rasgos asociados al desarrollo de hiperactividad. Estas diferencias persisten desde la infancia hasta la juventud, no existiendo datos referidos a la edad adulta. En conclusión, las consecuencias de la discordancia de peso intrapar sobre el desarrollo psicológico de los gemelos de menor peso intrapar son extensas tanto en las dimensiones afectadas como en su perdurabilidad. Es necesaria una mayor investigación que permita diseñar intervenciones tempranas preventivas y optimizadoras del desarrollo de estos niños; pues el óptimo desarrollo de todos los niños es la base de una sociedad en continuo progreso.Palabras Clave: Gemelaridad; Discordancia de Peso al Nacer; Desarrollo Atípico; Desarrollo Psicológico; Atención Temprana.More twins are being born with intrapair birth weight discordances. Discordance in birth weight is a risk factor that can affect the development of twins, especially that of the lightest twin. However, few studies have analysed the possible consequences of birth weight discordance on the lightest twin beyond possible neonatal obstetric problems. Thus, little is known about the consequences of birth weight discordance on the psychological development of such babies.This article reviews the literature and summarizes the effects of birth weight discordance on the psychological development of the lightest intrapair twins compared with their heavier twin siblings and the persistence of these effects during their lifetime. The literature shows that the lightest intrapair twins obtain lower scores than their siblings in cognitive, verbal, and psychomotor skills. They are also more likely to have traits associated with the development of hyperactivity. These differences persist from childhood to youth. There is no information about adulthood. In conclusion, birth weight discordance has marked effects on the psychological development of intrapair lower weight twins, both in relation to the affected dimensions and the persistence of these effects over time. Further research is needed on designing early preventative interventions that would optimize the development of these children. This proposal is of relevance, given that the optimal dev...
