Popis: | Aim The purpose of this study was to prospectively estimate the incidence of spontaneous twin anemia–polycythemia sequence (TAPS) in monochorionic–diamniotic twin pregnancies. Methods We prospectively examined umbilical cord hemoglobin (Hb) and reticulocyte count of consecutive monochorionic–diamniotic twin pregnancies delivered at Seirei Hamamatsu General Hospital from December 2006 to September 2013. We excluded cases of twin–twin transfusion syndrome, intrauterine fetal demise, and missing data (Hb and reticulocyte count missing from the medical record). TAPS was diagnosed using the postnatal criteria of intertwin Hb difference >8.0 g/dL and reticulocyte count ratio >1.7. Acute feto-fetal hemorrhage was defined as Hb difference >7 g/dL and reticulocyte count ratio |
