title: Growth patterns in preterm and term twin deliveries.
abstract: Preterm deliveries in singleton pregnancies have been shown to be associated with decreased rate of growth in utero. A total of 113 sets of twins were scanned serially at fortnightly intervals to establish fetal growth. There was no significant difference in the growth pattern in twins delivered before 37 weeks compared to those delivered after this time.
