Outcome prediction in monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies with moderately discordant amniotic fluid

The aim of this study was to identify predictors of twin‐to‐twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR) in monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies with moderate amniotic fluid discordance (mAFD).
