AbstractObjective:To analyze the accuracy of ultrasound prediction of birth weight discordance (BWD) and the influence of chorionicity and fetal growth restriction (FGR) on ultrasound performance.Methods:Retrospective analysis of 176 twin pregnancies at a Portuguese tertiary center, between 2008 and 2014. Last ultrasound biometry was recorded. Cases with delivery before 24 weeks, fetal malformations, interval between last ultrasound and deliver >3 weeks, twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome and monoamniotic pregnancies were excluded. The accuracy of prediction of BWD was assessed using the area under the receiver-operating characteristics curve (AUC).Results:BWD ≥20% was present in 21.6% of twin pregnancies. EBW had the best predictive performance for BWD (AUC 0.838, 95%CI 0.760–0.916), with a negative predictive value of 86.9% and a positive predictive value of 51.3%. Chorionicity did not influence ultrasound performance. None of the biometric variables analyzed was predictive of BWD in pregnancies without FGR.Conclusion:The accuracy of ultrasound in the prediction of BWD is limited, particularly in pregnancies without fetal growth restriction. Clinical decisions should not rely on BWD alone.

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate placental blood perfusion in middle and late pregnancy and explore its predictive value for fetal growth restriction (FGR). Methods All pregnant women included in the study were examined using placental intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI). Three IVIM parameters (D, f, D*) were obtained for each pregnant woman and analyzed using Image J software. Perfusion fraction f is a radiological marker of placental perfusion. The pulsatility index (PI) of the uterine artery is used to indirectly evaluate placental function. Results f-values were significantly lower in the late-onset FGR group compared to the normal late pregnancy group (19.07 vs. 27.78%). In addition, uterine artery PI values were markedly increased in the late-onset FGR group compared to the normal late pregnancy group (1.96 vs. 1.03), and neonatal weight was significantly lower in the late-onset FGR group (2.75 vs. 3.18 kg). There was a significant positive correlation between f-value, uterine artery PI and neonatal weight (r = 0.968, p < 0.01; r = 0.959, p < 0.01). There was a significant negative correlation between f-value and age of gestation (r = − 0.534, p < 0.01). Conclusion Perfusion fraction f was strongly correlated with uterine artery blood flow resistance as measured by color Doppler and had a certain predictive value for late-onset FGR.
