Prenatal risk factors of neurodevelopmental impairment after fetoscopic laser photocoagulation for twin-twin transfusion syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSION: TTTS survivors with advanced GA at the time of FLP, lower GA at delivery and lower birth weight are at the higher risk of developing NDI. No significant association was found between Quintero staging and risk of NDI. Together, our findings may be helpful for parental counseling and highlighting the need for future studies to better understand the risk factors of NDI among TTTS survivors.
