One twin more commonly had intrauterine growth restriction in the birth weight discordance group compared with the concordantly grown group (69% vs 20%, respectively). Sonographically, EFW discrepancy and increased abdominal circumference ratio were significantly correlated with birth weight discordance. The negative predictive values were high (92% and 87%, respectively). The best prediction of weight discordance was given by EFW discordance at the last ultrasound before delivery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Intertwin birth weight discordance is best predicted by an intertwin EFW discordance at the last ultrasound. If discordance is not suspected by ultrasound, the vast majority had no birth weight discordance. In case of birth weight discordance, the presence of at least one growth\u2010restricted twin is very likely. However, because around 20% of concordantly grown twin pairs comprise at least one intrauterine growth restriction infant, one cannot rely on weight discordance alone. \u00a9 2015 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/pd.4634","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,19]],"date-time":"2015-06-19T13:21:17Z","timestamp":1434720077000},"page":"906-912","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Ultrasonographic prediction of birth weight discordance in twin pregnancies"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"M.
