The primary outcome of this meta\u2010analysis was the risk of composite adverse neonatal outcome in SGA fetuses in a twin pregnancy diagnosed using twin or singleton charts. The secondary outcomes included: neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, oxygen supplementation or continuous positive airway pressure, mechanical ventilation, respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, neonatal sepsis and neonatal mortality. Prospective and retrospective studies on neonatal outcomes of monochorionic or diamniotic twins diagnosed with SGA using both singleton and twin charts based on estimated fetal weight or birth weight were considered suitable for inclusion. Quality assessment of the included studies was performed using the Newcastle\u2013Ottawa Scale for cohort studies. Random\u2010effects head\u2010to\u2010head meta\u2010analyses were used to analyze the data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Six studies were included in the systematic review and five studies, including 10\u2009554 twin pregnancies, were included in the meta\u2010analysis. The risk of composite adverse neonatal outcome (OR, 3.11 (95%\u2009CI, 1.83\u20135.26)) and that of most secondary outcomes was significantly higher in SGA fetuses diagnosed using twin charts compared with those diagnosed using singleton charts. Conversely, the risk of composite adverse neonatal outcome (OR, 1.22 (95%\u2009CI, 0.73\u20132.04)) and most secondary outcomes was similar when comparing SGA fetuses diagnosed using singleton charts\n                      <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic>\n                      non\u2010SGA fetuses diagnosed using twin charts, except for the risk of NICU admission, which was significantly higher in SGA fetuses diagnosed using singleton charts.
