We compared twins with and without SGA delivered at \u226534 weeks. There were two primary outcomes for this study: a composite of major adverse outcomes (death; cerebral palsy; necrotizing enterocolitis; chronic renal, heart, or lung disease) and a composite of minor adverse outcomes (learning disability, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy). Regression analysis was performed to control for clustering of outcomes within twin pairs.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003A total of 712 children were included. Comparing twins with birthweights &lt;10% to \u226510%, there were no significant differences in rates of composite major morbidities (3.2 vs. 1.4%, p\u2009=\u20090.109) or composite minor morbidities (43.6 vs. 39.3%, p\u2009=\u20090.279). Comparing twins with birthweights &lt;5% to \u22655%, the rates of major morbidities were low in both groups, but significantly higher in the group with birthweights &lt;5% (4.4 vs. 1.6%, p\u2009=\u20090.046). There were no significant differences seen in the composite minor morbidities (46.7 vs. 39.7%, p\u2009=\u20090.134). Twins with birthweights &lt;5% were significantly more likely to have childhood cardiac disease (2.9 vs. 0.7%, p\u2009=\u20090.041).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003Twins with SGA &lt;10% born at \u226534 weeks have similar long-term neurodevelopmental and health outcomes compared with twins with normal birthweights. Birthweight less than 5th percentile is associated with an increased risk of major morbidity, specifically cardiac disease, but the absolute risk is low.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0037-1607043","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,20]],"date-time":"2017-09-20T18:38:42Z","timestamp":1505932722000},"page":"254-261","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Long-Term Outcomes of Small for Gestational Age Twins Born at 34 Weeks or Later"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Nola","family":"Herlihy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Science, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Odom","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Science, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Natalie","family":"Cohen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Science, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Annemarie","family":"Stroustrup","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Newborn Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrei","family":"Rebarber","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Science, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, New York"},{"name":"Maternal Fetal Medicine Associates, PLLC, New York, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nathan","family":"Fox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Science, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, New York"},{"name":"Maternal Fetal Medicine Associates, PLLC, New York, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,20]]},"container-title":["American Journal of Perinatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0037-1607043.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,6]],"date-time":"2018-02-06T18:32:54Z","timestamp":1517941974000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0037-1607043"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,20]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"03","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,6]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,2]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0037-1607043","relation":{},"ISSN":["0735-1631","1098-8785"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0735-1631","type":"print"},{"value":"1098-8785","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,20]]}}}
