The objectives of this study were to examine whether the sites of cord insertion, as determined on prenatal ultrasound examination, affect the risks of adverse outcome, twin\u2010to\u2010twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and discordant growth, and whether discordance in insertion sites or velamentous insertion in one or both twins best predicts risk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a retrospective cohort study of monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies followed from the first trimester. The cohort was divided into three groups of increasing discordance in cord insertion sites: concordant (normal\u2013normal; marginal\u2013marginal; velamentous\u2013velamentous), intermediate (normal\u2013marginal; marginal\u2013velamentous) and discordant (normal\u2013velamentous). Adverse outcome was defined as fetal or neonatal loss or birth prior to 32\u2009weeks. The associations of adverse outcome, TTTS and discordant growth were assessed using logistic regression analysis with the following predictors: the three groups of insertion sites and velamentous insertion in one or both twins.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Included in the analysis were 518 pregnancies. On univariate analysis, both discordant and velamentous insertions in one twin increased the risk of adverse outcome, TTTS and discordant growth. Intermediate insertion only increased the risk of discordant growth. Velamentous insertion in both twins increased the risk of adverse outcome and TTTS, but not of discordant growth. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed velamentous insertion in one or both twins to independently predict adverse outcome and TTTS. For discordant growth, both intermediate\/discordant and velamentous cord insertion in one twin were independent predictors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Velamentous cord insertion in one or both twins increases the risk of adverse outcome and TTTS, irrespective of discordance in the insertion sites, whereas the risk of discordant growth is determined by both discordance in insertion sites and velamentous cord insertion in one twin.
