摘要
The incidence of differences in gestational sac diameter and crown-rump length, measured at the time of the first ultrasound, in which at least one gestational sac or crown-rump length could be visualized, were analysed retrospectively in 260 twin pregnancies in which one or both fetuses were delivered at term. The difference in gestational sac diameter averaged 1.2 +/- 0.1 mm for pregnancies which ended in twin births, compared to 2.0 +/- 0.3 mm when pregnancy ended in single births (P < 0.02). The difference in crown-rump length averaged 2.4 +/- 0.6 mm for pregnancies which ended in a single birth, compared to 0.9 +/- 0.1 mm for twin births (P = 0.02). Disparities of greater-than-or-equal-to 3 mm in gestational sac diameter (P < 0.05) or crown-rump length (P < 0.001) were associated with an embryo loss rate greater-than-or-equal-to 50%. The disparity in gestational sac diameter (P < 0.04) and crown - rump length (P < 0.01) was smaller in pregnancies resulting from assisted reproductive technologies, compared with pregnancies resulting from coitus or insemination. Differences in gestational sac diameter and crown-rump length in early pregnancy were unrelated to differences in birth weight, length or sex.
