Umbilical arterial systolic/diastolic values in normal twin gestation.
Linear regression analysis was used to describe the relationship of umbilical arterial systolic/diastolic values to gestational age in 65 twin gestations. This relationship (y = 6.18 - 0.11x) was then compared with a previously described regression for singleton pregnancies using a multiple regression model. This comparison revealed that the relationship between the systolic/diastolic ratio and gestational age is the same in singleton and twin gestations.
