Most participants (92.94%) were familiar with methods for monitoring patients for TAPS and nearly all (97.50%) responded that they use \u2018Doppler MCA-PSV\u2019 to make a prenatal TAPS diagnosis. Nearly two-thirds of MFM specialists surveyed (65.06%) reported performing regular TAPS monitoring for patients with monochorionic-diamniotic (MCDA) pregnancies.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"j_jpm-2018-0240_s_996_w2aab2b8b9b1b7b1aab1c17b4Aa\">\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Despite no formal guidelines, the majority of American MFM specialists surveyed are using routine TAPS screening in their management of MCDA twin pregnancies, suggesting that the MFM specialists included in this study consider it a valuable diagnostic tool. Future research should further explore this possible trend toward routine TAPS monitoring amongst MFM specialists in the United States, as well as the potential value of routine TAPS monitoring in MCDA pregnancy.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1515\/jpm-2018-0240","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,14]],"date-time":"2019-02-14T09:01:10Z","timestamp":1550134870000},"page":"388-392","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Twin anemia-polycythemia sequence and routine monitoring practices amongst maternal-fetal medicine specialists in the United States: an initial investigation"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Lauren D.","family":"Nicholas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Liberal Arts , Social Sciences Program, D\u2019Youville College , 591 Niagara Street, Buffalo , New York, NY 14201 , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rebecca L.","family":"Fischbein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family and Community Medicine , Northeast Ohio Medical University , Rootstown, OH , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Surya S.","family":"Bhamidipalli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kent State University , College of Public Health , Kent, OH , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023033121263841832_j_jpm-2018-0240_ref_001_w2aab2b8b9b1b7b1ab2b2b1Aa","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Gucciardo L, Lewi L, Vaast P, Debska M, De Catte L, Van Mieghem T, et al.
