Abstract
To characterize the neonatal hemodynamic profiles in recipients born after twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) treated with fetoscopic selective laser coagulation (FSLC). Retrospective analysis during the first month of life of recipient twins. Of the 480 newborns born during an 11-year period, 138 recipient twins with prenatal FSLC were classified into four groups: no hemodynamic impairment (NoHI, n = 102, 74%), isolated high blood pressure (HighBP, n = 18, 13%), right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO, n = 10, 7%), and cardiac failure (CF, n = 8, 6%). The time (median (IQR)) between FSLC and birth was significantly shorter in the HighBP (36 days (23-54)) and CF (44 days (18-54)) groups than in the RVOTO (91 days (68-112)) and NoHi (82 days (62-104)) groups (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Four distinct and well-characterized groups of recipients were identified based on their hemodynamics. High blood pressure and heart failure occurred in approximately 20% of the infants and were associated with a time between laser coagulation and birth of less than 2 months. What is Known: • Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is characterized by a hemodynamic imbalance that leads to high fetal and neonatal mortality if left untreated. One-third of recipient twins born without prenatal fetoscopic laser coagulation (FSLC) develop a life-threatening cardiac failure. What is New: • Four distinct groups of recipient twins with prenatal FSLC have been identified based on their hemodynamics. High blood pressure and cardiac failure occurred in 20% of the infants and were associated with an interval between FSLC and birth of less than 2 months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mechanisms determining the laterality and the rotation direction of hair whorls are unknown. Here we report observations on twins investigating the genetic bases of whorl pattern formation. Knowing that vortex phenomena may depend on geographic effects, we also provide comparative data on whorls from children born in the Northern hemisphere (France) versus children born in the Southern hemisphere (Chile). MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively included children from three populations: (1) Northern hemisphere general population, (2) Southern hemisphere general population, and (3) same-sex Northern hemisphere twins. We recorded whorl rotation direction (clockwise, counterclockwise), whorl position (left, right, central) and twinning type. Univariate logistic models were used to screen for associations between rotation direction and whorl position. For twins, the variable of interest was binary, i.e. same rotation direction (reference class) or opposite directions for each twin pair. For controls, all single combinations were included as virtual twins, and compared to real twins. Odds ratios (OR) were compared for both hemispheres, for real twins and virtual (control) twins. RESULTS Seventy-four (37 pairs) twins and 50 children from the general population of each hemisphere were included. The OR for opposite rotation directions between two twins was ≠1 (p = 0.017), meaning that whorls rotated preferentially in the same direction in twins. ORs were <1 for Northern and Southern hemispheres, meaning that whorls rotated preferentially in the same direction in simulated twins. OR for the Northern hemisphere (0.04 [0.03; 0.05]) was less than the OR for the Southern hemisphere (0.28 [0.24; 0.32]) with no confidence interval superimposition, indicating than counterclockwise whorls were more frequent in the Southern hemisphere (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS We suggest that hair whorl formation is a genetically determined developmental process that can be influenced by extrinsic environmental factors. Our results furthermore underline the general importance of studies focused on limit phenomena that can provide insights on general developmental mechanisms. We plead for large-scale epidemiological assessments of hair whorls in several Northern and Southern hemisphere populations to confirm these surprising findings suggesting significant modulations of craniofacial development by geographic effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP) is a well-established treatment for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) between 16 and 26 weeks' gestation. High-quality evidence and guidelines regarding the optimal clinical management of very early (prior to 16 weeks), early (between 16 and 18 weeks) and late (after 26 weeks) TTTS are lacking. The aim of this study was to construct a structured expert-based clinical consensus for the management of early and late TTTS. METHODS A Delphi procedure was conducted among an international panel of experts. Participants were chosen based on their clinical expertise, affiliation and relevant publications. A four-round Delphi survey was conducted using an online platform and responses were collected anonymously. In the first round, a core group of experts was asked to answer open-ended questions regarding the indications, timing and modes of treatment for early and late TTTS. In the second and third rounds, participants were asked to grade each statement on a Likert scale (1, completely disagree; 5, completely agree) and to add any suggestions or modifications. At the end of each round, the median score for each statement was calculated. Statements with a median grade of 5 without suggestions for change were accepted as the consensus. Statements with a median grade of 3 or less were excluded from the Delphi process. Statements with a median grade of 4 were modified according to suggestions and reconsidered in the next round. In the last round, participants were asked to agree or disagree with the statements, and those with more than 70% agreement without suggestions for change were considered the consensus. RESULTS A total of 122 experts met the inclusion criteria and were invited to participate, of whom 53 (43.4%) agreed to take part in the study. Of those, 75.5% completed all four rounds. A consensus on the optimal management of early and late TTTS was obtained. FLP can be offered as early as 15 weeks' gestation for selected cases, and can be considered up to 28 weeks. Between 16 and 18 weeks, management should be tailored according to Doppler findings. CONCLUSIONS A consensus-based treatment protocol for early and late TTTS was agreed upon by a panel of experts. This protocol should be modified at the discretion of the operator, according to their experience and the specific demands of each case. This should advance the quality of future studies, guide clinical practice and improve patient care. © 2023 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the growth trajectory of children with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) during the first year, to assess the risk factors for growth failure (GF) at 1 year and to determine nutritional intakes at discharge required for early optimal growth. DESIGN Single-centre retrospective cohort study based on data from a structured follow-up programme. SETTING AND PATIENTS All neonates with CDH (2013-2019) alive at discharge and followed up to age 1. INTERVENTIONS None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) at birth, 3, 6 and 12 months of age; risk factors for GF at age 1; energy and protein intake of infants achieving early optimal growth. RESULTS Sixty-three of 65 neonates who were alive at discharge were included. Seven (11%) had GF at 1 year and 3 (4.8%) had a gastrostomy tube. The mean WAZ decreased in the first 3 months before catching up at 1 year (-0.6±0.78). Children with a severe form or born preterm experienced a deeper loss (from -1.5 to -2 z-scores) with late and limited catch-up. The median energy intake required to achieve positive or null weight growth velocity differed significantly according to CDH severity, ranging from 100 kcal/kg/day (postnatal forms) to 139 kcal/kg/day (severe prenatal forms) (p=0.009). CONCLUSIONS Growth patterns of CDH infants suggest that nutritional risk stratification and feeding practices may influence growth outcomes. Our results support individualised and active nutritional management based on CDH severity, with energy requirements as high as 140% of recommended intakes for healthy term infants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of posterior urethral valve (PUV) in neonates requires close monitoring in the intensive care unit because of the risk of post-obstructive diuresis (POD). Our aim was to describe the incidence and factors associated with POD in newborns treated for PUV. METHODS Retrospective analysis of the medical records of all neonates who underwent surgical intervention for PUV in our neonatal intensive care unit between January 2014 and April 2021. RESULTS Of the 40 patients included, 15 (37.5%) had POD defined by urine output > 6 ml.kg-1.h-1 during the first 24 h following urinary tract obstruction relief. At prenatal ultrasound examinations, oligohydramnios was more common in the group with POD than in the group without (53.3% vs. 8%, p = 0.002). Preterm birth was more frequent in neonates with POD (66.7% vs. 8%; p < 0.001). Median serum creatinine (212 [137-246] vs. 95 [77-125] µmol.l-1; p < 0.001) and urea (8.5 [5.2-12.2] vs. 4.1 [3.5-4.7] mmol.l-1; p < 0.001) concentrations on the day of obstruction relief were significantly higher in the group with POD than in the group without. After adjustment for prematurity, logistic regression models confirmed correlation between the occurrence of POD and the severity of the consequences of urethral obstruction (i.e., oligohydramnios and serum creatinine levels; ß = 2.90 [0.88; 5.36], p = 0.013 and ß = 0.014 [0.003; 0.031], p = 0.034, respectively). CONCLUSIONS In neonates, POD is common after the relief of PUV-related obstruction. Our findings may help to identify patients at highest risk. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preterm labor and delivery is a major concern for patients with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome undergoing fetoscopic laser surgery. A preoperative short cervix is a risk factor for preterm labor. Pessary placement is a short-acting intervention that may be useful to reduce this adverse event. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the relationship between pessary placement and preterm delivery in monochorionic twin pregnancies with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome and a short cervix before fetoscopic laser surgery. STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective study in 2 centers, including all pregnancies affected by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome that underwent fetoscopic laser surgery with the Solomon technique between 2013 and 2022 (center A) and 2014 and 2022 (center B) with a preoperative cervical length below 25 mm. This study explored the correlation between cervical length and fetoscopic laser surgery-to-delivery interval following active or expectant management and compared perinatal outcomes between patients managed expectantly and patients managed with pessary placement, using multivariate analysis to control for potential confounders. Patients with a cervical length below 5 mm were not included in the comparative analysis. RESULTS Of 685 patients, 134 met the inclusion criteria. Moreover, 21 patients were treated with a cervical cerclage and excluded from the analysis, leaving 113 patients for the final analysis. There was a significant negative correlation between cervical length at fetoscopic laser surgery and the risk of early delivery (adjusted odds ratio, 0.66; 95% confidence interval, 0.49-0.81; P<.001). The use of a pessary correlated with fewer patients delivering before 28 weeks of gestation (adjusted odds ratio, 0.28; 95% confidence interval, 0.09-0.75), fewer double neonatal demise (adjusted odds ratio, 0.2; 95% confidence interval, 0.05-0.75). Posthoc subgroup analysis suggested that these improvements were essentially noticeable for cervical lengths between 5 and 18 mm, where pessary placement was associated with an increased fetoscopic laser surgery-to-delivery interval (+24 days; 95% confidence interval, 0.86-42; P=.042) and later gestational age at delivery (+3.3 weeks; 95% confidence interval, 0.86-42; P=.035). CONCLUSION Patients with a moderately shortened cervix, between 5 and 18 mm, may benefit from pessary placement after fetoscopic surgery for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, resulting in a reduction of adverse neonatal outcomes, double neonatal demise, and severe preterm delivery.

Abstract
Myelomeningocele (MMC) is a congenital defect of the spine characterised by meningeal and spinal cord protrusion through the open vertebral arches. This defect causes progressive prenatal damage of the spinal cord, leading to lifelong handicap. Although mid-trimester surgical repair may reduce part of the handicap, an earlier and less invasive approach would further improve the prognosis, possibly minimising maternal and foetal risks. Several studies have proposed an alternative approach to surgical repair by covering the defect with a patch and protecting the exposed neural tissue. Our study aims to elaborate on a waterproof and biodegradable bioactive patch for MMC prenatal foetal repair. We developed a double-layer patch that can provide a waterproof coverage for the spinal cord, with a bioactive side, conducive to cell proliferation, and an antiadhesive side to avoid its attachment to the medulla.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION CREBBP truncating mutations and deletions are responsible for the well-known Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome. Recently, a new, distinct CREBBP-linked syndrome has been described: missense mutations located at the 3' end of exon 30 and the 5' portion of exon 31 induce Menke-Hennekam syndrome. Patients with this syndrome present a recognizable facial dysmorphism, intellectual disability of variable severity, microcephaly, short stature, autism, epilepsy, visual and hearing impairments, feeding problems, upper airway infections, scoliosis, and/or kyphosis. To date, all diagnoses were made postnatally. METHOD AND CASE REPORT Trio-whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed in a fetus showing increased nuchal translucency persistence and aorta abnormalities at 28 weeks of gestation (WG). RESULTS WES revealed a CREBBP de novo missense mutation (c.5602C>T; p.Arg1868Trp) in exon 31, previously reported as the cause of Menke-Hennekam syndrome. Termination of pregnancy was performed at 32 WG. We further reviewed the prenatal signs of Menke-Hennekam syndrome already reported. Among the 35 patients reported and diagnosed postnatally up to this day, 15 presented recognizable prenatal signs, the most frequent being intra-uterine growth retardation, brain, and cardiovascular anomalies. CONCLUSION Menke-Hennekam is a rare syndrome with unspecific, heterogeneous, and inconstant prenatal symptoms occurring most frequently with the c.5602C>T, p.(Arg1868Trp) mutation. Therefore, the prenatal diagnosis of Menke-Hennekam syndrome is only possible by molecular investigation. Moreover, this case report and review reinforce the importance of performing prenatal WES when unspecific signs are present on imaging.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the outcome of monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins complicated by Type-II selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR) who underwent fetoscopic laser photocoagulation and to validate a previously proposed subclassification system for Type-II sFGR in a large multicenter cohort. METHODS This retrospective multicenter cohort study included all MCDA twins complicated by Type-II sFGR who underwent laser photocoagulation of placental anastomoses at four large tertiary fetal-care centers between 2006 and 2020. Cases were subclassified according to a recently proposed system based on Doppler evaluation of the ductus venosus (DV) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) into Type-IIA (normal DV flow and MCA peak systolic velocity (PSV) of the growth-restricted fetus) or Type-IIB (absent or reversed flow in the DV during atrial contraction and/or MCA-PSV ≥ 1.5 multiples of the median of the growth-restricted fetus). Demographic characteristics and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the groups. Data are presented as mean ± SD or n (%) as appropriate. P-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS A total of 98 patients with MCDA twins met our inclusion criteria, with 56 subclassified as Type IIA and 42 as Type IIB. Demographic characteristics were similar between the groups; however, Type-IIB cases had a significantly earlier gestational age at diagnosis and at laser surgery, as well as larger intertwin estimated fetal weight discordance, which may be a reflection of disease severity. Postnatal survival of the growth-restricted fetus to 30 days of age was significantly lower in Type-IIB compared to Type-IIA cases (23.8% vs 46.4%; P = 0.034). CONCLUSIONS In MCDA twins complicated by Type-II sFGR and treated with laser photocoagulation of placental anastomoses, preoperative Doppler assessment of the DV and MCA helped identify a subset of patients at increased risk of demise of the growth-restricted fetus following intervention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adequate reference ranges of size of the corpus callosum (CC) are necessary to improve characterization of CC abnormalities and parental counseling. The objective of this study was to evaluate the methodology used in studies developing references charts for CC biometry. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of studies on fetal CC biometry using a set of predefined quality criteria of study design, statistical analysis and reporting methods. We included observational studies whose primary aim was to create ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging charts for CC size in a normal population of fetuses. Studies were scored against a predefined set of independently agreed methodological criteria, and an overall quality score was given for each study. RESULTS Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria. Quality scores ranged between 17.4% and 95.7%. The greatest potential for bias was noted for the following items: sample selection and sample-size calculation, as only 17% of the studies were population-based and had consecutive or random recruitment of patients and with a justification of the sample size; number of measurements obtained for CC biometry, as only 17% of the studies performed more than one measurement per fetus and per scan; and description of characteristics of the study population, as only 8% of the studies clearly reported a minimum dataset of demographic characteristics. CONCLUSIONS Our review demonstrates substantial heterogeneity in methods and final biometric values of the fetal CC across the evaluated studies. The use of uniform methodology of the highest quality is essential in order to define a 'short' CC and provide appropriate parental counseling. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
This meta-analysis aims to compare the perinatal outcome of twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) pregnancies undergoing selective versus vascular equator (Solomon) fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP). We performed a systematic search in PubMed and Web of Science from inception up to 25 July 2021. Studies comparing the Solomon and selective techniques of FLP for treatment of TTTS pregnancies were eligible. Random-effects or fixed-effect models were used to pool standardized mean differences (SMD) and log odds ratio. Seven studies with a total of 1664 TTTS pregnancies (n = 671 undergoing Solomon and n = 993 selective techniques) were included. As compared to the selective FLP, Solomon was associated with a lower risk of recurrent TTTS compared to the selective technique (Log odds ratio [OR]: -1.167; 95% credible interval [CrI]: -2.01, -0.33; p = 0.021; I2 : 67%). In addition, Solomon was significantly associated with a higher risk of placental abruption than the selective technique (Log [OR]: 1.44; 95% CrI: 0.45, 2.47; p = 0.012; I2 : 0.0%). Furthermore, a trend for the higher risk of preterm premature rupture of membranes was observed among those undergoing Solomon (Log [OR]: 0.581; 95% CrI: -0.43, 1.49; p = 0.131; I2 : 17%). As compared to selective FLP, the Solomon technique for TTTS pregnancies is associated with a significantly lower recurrence of TTTS; however, it significantly increases the risk of placental abruption.

Abstract
Background: This paper’s intent is to describe the neonatal hemodynamic characteristics of recipient twins of monochorionic pregnancies complicated with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), born without prenatal fetoscopic selective laser coagulation (FSLC). Methods: Retrospective analysis of hemodynamic characteristics was performed during the first five days of life of recipient twins from untreated TTTS. Results: Forty-two recipient twins were included and divided into three groups: no hemodynamic impairment (NoHI) (n = 15, 36%), isolated high blood pressure (HighBP) (n = 12, 28%), and cardiac failure group (CF) (n = 15, 36%). Patients of both CF and HighBP groups had high systolic blood pressure during the first 12 h of life and ventricular hypertrophy at early echocardiography. Cardiac failure occurred at a median age of 14 h (IQR = 6−24) and was followed by a drop in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Acute kidney injury was more frequent (93% vs. 25%, p < 0.001) and severe (p <0.001) in the CF group than in the HighBP group. The mortality rate in the CF group was 40%. Factors associated with CF were twin anemia-polycythemia sequence (p = 0.012), very preterm birth (p = 0.040), and polycythemia (p = 0.002). Conclusion: One-third of recipient twins born without prenatal FSLC developed life-threatening cardiac failure during the first 24 h of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Outcome of common arterial trunk (CAT) depends mainly on truncal valve function, presence of coronary artery abnormalities and presence of interrupted aortic arch. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of prenatal diagnosis of CAT by analyzing prenatal vs postnatal assessment of: (1) anatomic subtypes and (2) truncal valve function. The secondary objective was to assess the potential impact of prenatal diagnosis of CAT on postnatal mortality and morbidity by comparing prenatally vs postnatally diagnosed patients. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of all CAT patients diagnosed either prenatally, with postnatal or fetopsy confirmation, or postnatally, from 2011 to 2019 in a single tertiary center. Cohen's kappa statistic was used to evaluate agreement between pre- and postnatal assessment of anatomic subtypes according to Van Praagh and of truncal valve function. Mortality and morbidity variables were compared between prenatally vs postnatally diagnosed CAT patients. RESULTS A total of 84 patients (62 liveborn with prenatal diagnosis, 16 liveborn with postnatal diagnosis and six terminations of pregnancy with fetopsy) met the inclusion criteria. The accuracy of prenatal diagnosis of CAT anatomic subtype was 80.3%, and prenatal and postnatal concordance for subtype diagnosis was only moderate (κ = 0.43), with no patient with CAT Type A3 (0/4) and only half of patients with CAT Type A4 (8/17) being diagnosed prenatally. Fetal evaluation of truncal valve function underestimated the presence (no agreement; κ = 0.09) and severity (slight agreement; κ = 0.19) of insufficiency. However, four of five cases of postnatally confirmed significant truncal valve stenosis were diagnosed prenatally, with fair agreement for both presence and severity of stenosis (κ = 0.38 and 0.24, respectively). Mortality was comparable in patients with and those without prenatal diagnosis (log-rank P = 0.87). CAT patients with fetal diagnosis underwent earlier intervention (P < 0.001), had shorter intubation time (P = 0.047) and shorter global hospital stay (P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The accuracy of prenatal diagnosis of CAT is insufficient to tailor neonatal management and to predict outcome. Fetal assessment of truncal valve dysfunction appears unreliable due to perinatal transition. Improvement is necessary in the fetal diagnosis of anatomic subtypes of CAT requiring postnatal prostaglandin infusion. © 2022 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract
Aortic stenosis is a complex heart disease that involves the aortic valve and the left ventricle. Impairment of the left ventricle, abnormalities in its size, systolic and diastolic function determine the postnatal outcomes in the same way as the aortic valve. In the most severe forms, the left ventricle cannot provide systemic circulation at birth and the physiology is that of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Fetal aortic valvuloplasty has been developed in the 90s to prevent in utero progression of aortic stenosis to hypoplastic left heart syndrome. In the present article, the most recently reported data about indications, procedure details and postnatal outcomes were reviewed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of gestational age at laser therapy for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) on perinatal outcome. DESIGN AND SETTINGS Single retrospective observational cohort. POPULATION All consecutive pregnancies affected by TTTS and referred to our department between January 2013 and August 2020. METHODS Gestational age was modelled both as a categorical and as a continuous variable. Log-binomial regression was used to estimate the odds ratios (crude and adjusted for placental location, Quintero stage and cervical length) as well as the adjusted predicted probability of survival and fetal loss according to gestational age at laser therapy. MAIN OUTCOMES Fetal and neonatal survival, preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM). RESULTS Of the 503 pregnancies referred for TTTS, 431 were treated by laser therapy. Gestational age at laser therapy was positively and significantly associated with the overall survival at birth and at discharge (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.12, 95% CI 1.05-1.19), as with a reduction in double fetal loss (aOR 0.81, 95% CI 0.71-0.92). Conversely, the rate of PPROM before 24 weeks was significantly higher in early cases (32% of PPROM <24 weeks when laser therapy was performed before 17 weeks versus 1.5% after 22 weeks, p < 0.001, aOR 0.60, 95% CI 0.48-0.72). Among the survivors, preterm birth before 28 weeks was significantly related to the gestational age at laser (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.84-0.99), resulting in a significant impact on neonatal morbidity (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.85-0.97). CONCLUSION Our results suggest a significant and independent impact of the gestational age at laser surgery on perinatal survival, PPROM and neonatal morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Complete coagulation of the vascular equator (as in the Solomon technique) has been suggested to reduce postoperative complications such as twin anemia polycythemia syndrome and the recurrence of twin-twin transfusion syndrome following fetoscopic laser coagulation of chorionic vessels for twin-twin transfusion syndrome. OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the benefit of this technique on perinatal outcomes compared with selective ablation of anastomoses. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a monocentric retrospective study comparing selective laser coagulation of anastomoses to the Solomon technique from January 2006 to August 2020. To adjust for potential confounders, the cases operated by selective surgery were matched to the cases operated with the Solomon technique according to the gestational age at laser therapy, placental localization, and Quintero stage using propensity score matching. RESULTS With a total of 994 cases, 399 matched pairs were included in the analysis. Compared with selective ablation, the Solomon technique was associated with significantly improved survival: the overall twin survival at delivery and discharge was 72% vs 79% (P=.003) and 69% vs 75% (P=.006), respectively; the double twin survival rate at discharge was 55% vs 65% (P=.02), respectively, and the rate of intrauterine death dropped from 18% to 12% (P=.003), respectively. The Solomon technique significantly reduced the rate of twin anemia polycythemia syndrome (10% vs 4%; P=.02), leading to fewer secondary rescue procedures (13% vs 7.3%; P=.01). However, the Solomon technique was associated with an increased risk of preterm rupture of membranes, especially at early gestational ages (3.8% vs 11%; P<.001 for preterm rupture of membranes <24 weeks). Among the survivors at delivery, both the groups had similar gestational ages at birth. Both neonatal mortality and severe neurologic morbidity were similar in both the groups. However, an increased risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia was found in the Solomon group (4.5% vs 12%; P<.001). CONCLUSION Although the risk of preterm premature rupture of membranes has increased, the introduction of the Solomon technique has significantly improved perinatal outcomes in pregnancies affected with twin-twin transfusion syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe prenatal decision-making processes and birth plans in pregnancies amenable to planning perinatal palliative care. DESIGN Multicentre prospective observational study. SETTING Nine Multidisciplinary Centres for Prenatal Diagnosis of the Paris-Ile-de-France region. POPULATION All cases of major and incurable fetal anomaly eligible for TOP where limitation of life-sustaining treatments for the neonate was discussed in the prenatal period between 2015 and 2016. METHODS Cases of congenital defects amenable to perinatal palliative care were prospectively included in each centre. Prenatal diagnosis, decision-making process, type of birth plan, birth characteristics, pregnancy and neonatal outcome were collected prospectively and anonymously. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Final decision reached following discussions in the antenatal period. RESULTS We identified 736 continuing pregnancies with a diagnosis of a severe fetal condition eligible for TOP. Perinatal palliative care was considered in 102/736 (13.9%) pregnancies (106 infants); discussions were multidisciplinary in 99/106 (93.4%) cases. Prenatal birth plans involved life-sustaining treatment limitation and comfort care in 73/736 (9.9%) of the pregnancies. The main reason for planning palliative care at birth was short-term inevitable death in 39 cases (53.4%). In all, 76/106 (71.7%) infants were born alive, and 18/106 (17%) infants were alive at last follow-up, including four with a perinatal palliative care birth plan. CONCLUSIONS Only a small proportion of severe and incurable fetal disorders were potentially amenable to limitation of life-sustaining interventions. Perinatal palliative care may not be considered a universal alternative to termination of pregnancy. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT Perinatal palliative care is planned in 10% of continuing pregnancies with a major and incurable fetal condition eligible for TOP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cytomegalovirus (CMV) maternal primary infection (MPI) in early pregnancy is the main risk factor for congenital CMV (cCMV) infection with long-term sequelae. Our aim was to evaluate, in a single center offering CMV serology screening at 11-14 gestational weeks, secondary prevention of cCMV by administration of high-dosage maternal oral valacyclovir (VACV) in the first trimester of pregnancy. METHODS This was a case-control study in a longitudinal cohort of pregnancies with CMV-MPI diagnosed prior to 14 weeks of gestation by serology screening (immunoglobulin (Ig) M and IgG measurement and IgG avidity) between 2009 and 2020. From October 2019 onwards, all women presenting at our center with MPI before 14 weeks' gestation were offered treatment with high-dosage oral VACV (8 g/day, 4 g twice/day). We used propensity score matching to compare fetal infection rates in cases treated with maternal oral VACV (8 g/day) with those in untreated controls. Fetal infection was assessed following amniocentesis at 17-22 weeks of gestation, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of amniotic fluid for viral DNA. RESULTS Of 310 cases of CMV-MPI identified, 269 underwent amniocentesis for PCR. Of these, 66 were offered, and 65 accepted, treatment with VACV. From the remaining untreated cases, we selected 65 controls, matched for proportion of periconceptional infections and gestational age at amniocentesis. VACV was initiated at a median gestational age of 12.71 (interquartile range (IQR), 10.00-13.86) weeks and the median duration of treatment was 35 (IQR, 26-54) days. On multivariate logistic regression, fetal infection was lower in the treated group (odds ratio, 0.318 (95% CI, 0.120-0.841); P = 0.021). One treated patient developed acute renal failure 4 weeks after initiation of VACV therapy, but this resolved within 5 days after treatment was stopped. CONCLUSION This study confirms the acceptability, tolerance and benefit of secondary prevention by VACV of cCMV infection in a clinical setting with a well-established routine maternal serum screening policy in the first trimester of pregnancy. © 2021 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selective fetoscopic laser coagulation of the intertwin anastomotic chorionic vessels is the first-line treatment for twin-twin transfusion syndrome. However, in stage 1 twin-twin transfusion syndrome, the risks of intrauterine surgery may be higher than those of the natural progression of the condition. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare immediate surgery and expectant follow-up in stage 1 twin-twin transfusion syndrome. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a multicentric randomized trial, which recruited from 2011 to 2018 with a 6-month postnatal follow-up. The study was conducted in 9 fetal medicine centers in Europe and the Unites States. Asymptomatic women with stage 1 twin-twin transfusion syndrome between 16 and 26 weeks' gestation, a cervix of >15 mm, and access to a surgical center within 48 hours of diagnosis were randomized between expectant management and immediate surgery. In patients allocated to immediate laser treatment, percutaneous laser coagulation of anastomotic vessels was performed within 72 hours. In patients allocated to expectant management, a weekly ultrasound follow-up was planned. Rescue fetoscopic coagulation of anastomoses was offered if the syndrome worsened as seen during a follow-up, either because of progression to a higher Quintero stage or because of the maternal complications of polyhydramnios. The primary outcome was survival at 6 months without severe neurologic morbidity. Severe complications of prematurity and maternal morbidity were secondary outcomes. RESULTS The trial was stopped at 117 of 200 planned inclusions for slow accrual rate over 7 years: 58 women were allocated to expectant management and 59 to immediate laser treatment. Intact survival was seen in 84 of 109 (77%) expectant cases and in 89 of 114 (78%) (P=.88) immediate surgery cases, and severe neurologic morbidity occurred in 5 of 109 (4.6%) and 3 of 114 (2.6%) (P=.49) cases in the expectant and immediate surgery groups, respectively. In patients followed expectantly, 24 of 58 (41%) cases remained stable with dual intact survival in 36 of 44 (86%) cases at 6 months. Intact survival was lower following surgery than for the nonprogressive cases, although nonsignificantly (78% and 71% following immediate and rescue surgery, respectively). CONCLUSION It is unlikely that early fetal surgery is of benefit for stage 1 twin-twin transfusion syndrome in asymptomatic pregnant women with a long cervix. Although expectant management is reasonable for these cases, 60% of the cases will progress and require rapid transfer to a surgical center.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In women seronegative before pregnancy, congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV)-related sequelae are exclusively seen in those infected in the first trimester of pregnancy. Following a maternal primary infection in the first trimester, up to 30% of infected neonates suffer long-term sequelae. Maternal parity is an established risk factor of cCMV in previously seronegative women. Our objective was to quantify, in a population of women seronegative at their first pregnancy, the risk of cCMV and related sequelae following primary infections in the first trimester in subsequent pregnancies. METHODS There were 739 women seronegative at their first pregnancy who had at least 1 of 971 subsequent pregnancies and deliveries managed at our institution. All women had CMV immunoglobin (Ig) G and IgM testing at 11-14 weeks of each pregnancy. RESULTS Between 2 consecutive pregnancies, 15.6% (115/739) of women seroconverted. Of these seroconversions, 29% (33/115) occurred in the periconceptional period or in the first trimester. The risks for cCMV and related sequelae (neurologic and/or hearing loss) following a maternal infection in the first trimester were, respectively, 24- and 6-fold higher (risk ratios, 24 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 10.8-62.3] and 6 [95% CI 1.5-24], respectively) than in the general pregnant population. Of all primary maternal infections and fetal infections in the first trimester, 88% (29/33) and 92% (11/12), respectively, occurred when the inter-pregnancy interval was ≤2 years. CONCLUSIONS Women seronegative at their first pregnancy with a subsequent pregnancy within 2 years have the highest risk of delivering a child with cCMV-related sequelae. These women should be made aware of the risk and given the opportunity of serology screening in the first trimester.

Abstract
Background Fetal tachyarrhythmia is a condition that may lead to cardiac dysfunction, hydrops, and death. Despite a transplacental treatment, failure to obtain or maintain sinus rhythm may occur. Objective We aimed to analyze the perinatal outcomes of sustained fetal tachyarrhythmias after in utero treatment. Methods We performed a retrospective evaluation of 69 cases with sustained fetal tachyarrhythmia. We compared the perinatal and long-term outcomes of prenatally converted and drug-resistant fetuses. Tachyarrhythmia subtypes were also evaluated. Results Conversion to sinus rhythm was obtained in 74% of cases; 26% of cases were drug-resistant and delivered arrhythmic. Three perinatal deaths occurred in both groups (6.7% vs 17%, P = .34). Neonates delivered arrhythmic were more frequently admitted to neonatal intensive care units (75% vs 31%, P < .01), and their hospital stay was longer (20.9 vs 6.64 days, P < .001). Multiple neonatal recurrences (81% vs 11%, P < .001), temporary hemodynamic dysfunction or heart failure (50% vs 6.7%, P < .001), and postnatal use of a combination treatment (44% vs 13%, P = .028) were also more frequent in this population. Beyond the neonatal period, rates of recurrences within the first 16 months were higher in drug-resistant fetuses (HR = 16.14, CI 95% [4.485; 193.8], P < .001). In this population, postnatal electrocardiogram revealed an overrepresentation of rare mechanisms, especially permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia (PJRT) (31%). Conclusion Prenatal conversion to stable sinus rhythm is a major determinant of perinatal and long-term outcomes in fetal tachyarrhythmias. The underlying electrophysiological mechanisms have a major role in predicting these differential outcomes with an overrepresentation of PJRT in the drug-resistant population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the ability of detailed routine ultrasound examination, performed without knowledge of maternal serology and fetal status, with that of targeted prenatal imaging performed in prenatal diagnostic units in cases of known fetal infection to identify cytomegalovirus (CMV)-infected fetuses that will develop long-term sequelae. METHODS All prenatal imaging reports were collected for 255 children with congenital CMV in a registered cohort between 2013 and 2017 (NCT01923636). All women had undergone detailed routine fetal ultrasound examination at 20-24 and 30-34 weeks as part of routine antenatal care. All cases of known fetal CMV infection had also undergone targeted prenatal ultrasound examination. Postnatal structured follow-up for up to 48 months of age involved clinical, audiological and neurological assessment, including Brunet-Lezine scoring. Long-term sequelae (> 12 months) were considered to be mild in cases with isolated unilateral hearing loss and/or vestibular disorders, and severe in cases with bilateral hearing loss and/or neurological sequelae. All imaging reports were analyzed retrospectively with the knowledge of congenital CMV infection, searching for reference to findings that were, or could have been, related to fetal infection. Findings were analyzed in relation to whether the cases were diagnosed with CMV in utero or only postnatally. RESULTS There were 237 children with complete follow-up data (> 12 months), for a median of 24 (range, 12-48) months. Of these, 30% (71/237) were diagnosed with CMV prenatally and 70% (166/237) were diagnosed within 3 weeks after birth. 72.5% (29/40) of children with long-term sequelae, including 74% (14/19) with severe long-term sequelae, were not identified in the prenatal period. Among those diagnosed prenatally, the sensitivity of prenatal imaging for predicting long-term sequelae and severe long-term sequelae was 91% and 100%, respectively, while, in the group diagnosed only postnatally, non-specific infection-related ultrasound findings had been reported without raising suspicion in 48% of cases with long-term sequelae and 64% of those with severe long-term sequelae. CONCLUSIONS Routine detailed ultrasound examination in pregnancy is not an appropriate screening tool for congenital CMV infection that leads to long-term sequelae, in contrast with the high performance of targeted prenatal imaging in known cases of fetal infection. The non-specific nature of ultrasound features of CMV and their evolution, and a lack of awareness of caregivers about congenital CMV, are likely explanations. Awareness of the sonologist regarding congenital CMV and knowledge of the maternal serological status in the first trimester seem key to the performance of prenatal ultrasound.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the perinatal risks of immune complete congenital heart block (iCCHB) based on the longitudinal analysis of fetal heart rate. METHODS Retrospective analysis of a cohort of grade III congenital heart block diagnosed in utero, in the absence of associated cardiac defect, with positive maternal serum antibodies. Longitudinal measurements of the fetal heart rate were used to estimate the average slope of ventricular rate as a function of gestational age. We then defined the following prognostic stratification based on longitudinal follow-up observations: the high-rate (HR) group included cases for which all prenatal ventricular rate measurements were above the age-specific mean of our population of iCCHB and the low-rate (LR) group included those with at least one observation below the mean during follow-up. The 2 groups were compared to analyze the potential relationship between prenatal ventricular rate and adverse neonatal outcome defined by in utero or perinatal death, neonatal heart rate <50 bpm, or hemodynamic failure requiring emergency pacing. RESULTS Forty-four cases were studied. Overall, the average heart rate significantly decreased during gestation from 65 bpm at 20 weeks to 55 bpm at 38 weeks. The HR and LR groups included 18 (41%) and 26 (59%) cases, respectively. Adverse perinatal outcome occurred in 1/18 (6%) and 22/26 (85%) cases in the HR and LR groups, respectively (p < 0.001). In the HR group, 33% of cases remained nonpaced at >6 months. The positive predictive values and negative predictive values for adverse perinatal outcome in the LR group were 85% (22/26) and 94% (17/18), respectively (100 and 80% <30 weeks and 88 and 78% at ≥30 weeks). CONCLUSIONS The prognostic classification we developed based on longitudinal heart rate assessment may be used in the late 2nd or early 3rd trimester to identify iCCHB cases at high risk of adverse perinatal outcome. This prognostic stratification should help refine counseling and perinatal management earlier in pregnancy instead of waiting for late gestation or predelivery assessment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Fetal therapy is part of the available care offer for several severe malformations. The place of these emergent prenatal interventions in the prenatal path of care is poorly known. The objective of this study is to describe the decision-making process of patients facing the option of an emergent in utero intervention. METHODS We have conducted a retrospective monocentric descriptive study in the department of maternal-fetal medicine of Necker Hospital. We collected data regarding eligibility or not for fetal surgery and the pregnancy outcomes of patients referred for myelomeningocele, diaphragmatic hernia, aortic stenosis and low obstructive uropathies. RESULTS All indications combined, 70% of patients opted for fetal surgery. This rate was lower in the case of myelomeningocele with 21% consent, than in the other pathologies: 69% for diaphragmatic hernias, 90% for aortic stenoses and 76% for uropathy. When fetal intervention was declined, the vast majority of patients opted for termination of pregnancy: 86%. In 14% of the considering fetal surgery, the patient was referred too far. CONCLUSION The acceptance rate for fetal surgeries depends on condition. It offers an additional option and is an alternative for couples for which termination of pregnancy (TOP) is not an option. Timely referral to an expert center allows to discuss the place of a fetal intervention and not to deprive couples of this possibility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To validate the diagnostic accuracy of a Euroimmun SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgA immunoassay for COVID-19. METHODS In this unmatched (1:2) case-control validation study, we used sera of 181 laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 cases and 326 controls collected before SARS-CoV-2 emergence. Diagnostic accuracy of the immunoassay was assessed against a whole spike protein-based recombinant immunofluorescence assay (rIFA) by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses. Discrepant cases between ELISA and rIFA were further tested by pseudo-neutralization assay. RESULTS COVID-19 patients were more likely to be male and older than controls, and 50.3% were hospitalized. ROC curve analyses indicated that IgG and IgA had high diagnostic accuracies with AUCs of 0.990 (95% Confidence Interval [95%CI]: 0.983-0.996) and 0.978 (95%CI: 0.967-0.989), respectively. IgG assays outperformed IgA assays (p=0.01). Taking an assessed 15% inter-assay imprecision into account, an optimized IgG ratio cut-off > 2.5 displayed a 100% specificity (95%CI: 99-100) and a 100% positive predictive value (95%CI: 96-100). A 0.8 cut-off displayed a 94% sensitivity (95%CI: 88-97) and a 97% negative predictive value (95%CI: 95-99). Substituting the upper threshold for the manufacturer's, improved assay performance, leaving 8.9% of IgG ratios indeterminate between 0.8-2.5. CONCLUSIONS The Euroimmun assay displays a nearly optimal diagnostic accuracy using IgG against SARS-CoV-2 in patient samples, with no obvious gains from IgA serology. The optimized cut-offs are fit for rule-in and rule-out purposes, allowing determination of whether individuals in our study population have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 or not. IgG serology should however not be considered as a surrogate of protection at this stage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This is a retrospective study to determine the predictive value and comparison of first trimester (1) crown-rump length discordance and (2) abnormal cord insertion as screening tests for poor outcome in monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies. RESULTS Retrospective data were collected over last 10 years from a single center (2009-2018). A total of 261 patients were a part of this study. CRL discordance or abnormal cord insertions are not accurate predictors of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, which corresponds to previously published data on the same subject. Both CRL discordance and abnormal cord insertions are strongly associated with selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR) as defined according to conventional criteria or the newer consensus criteria. A combination of these two markers substantially improves the screening rates, with a positive likelihood ratio of 10.33 for sFGR. However, this combination fails to distinguish the type 1 sFGR cases from the type 2/3, which typically have poorer outcomes. CONCLUSION CRL discordance and abnormal cord insertions are strongly associated with the development sFGR in monochorionic pregnancies. A combination of these two markers shows promising potential as a screening test to identify pregnancies at a high risk for development of sFGR. Earlier diagnosis can help plan timely fetal intervention and improve the overall outcomes of these pregnancies. These markers need to be validated in larger studies before being adopted for screening of monochorionic pregnancies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The known relationship between the gestational age at maternal primary infection an the outcome of congenital CMV is based on small, retrospective studies conducted between 1980 and 2011. They reported that 32% and 15% of cases had sequelae following a maternal primary infection in the first and second or the third trimester, respectively. We aimed to revisit this relationship prospectively between 2011 and 2017, using accurate virological tools. METHODS We collected data on women with a primary infection and an infected child aged at least 1 year at the time of analysis. An accurate determination of the timing of the primary infection was based upon serial measurements of immunoglobulin (Ig) M and IgG and on IgG avidity in sera collected at each trimester. The case outcome was assessed according to a structured follow-up between birth and 48 months. RESULTS We included 255 women and their 260 fetuses/neonates. The dating of the maternal infection was prospective in 86% of cases and retrospective in 14%. At a median follow-up of 24 months, the proportion of sensorineural hearing loss and/or neurologic sequelae were 32.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 23.72-42.09) after a maternal primary infection in the first trimester, 0 (95% CI 0-6.49) after an infection in the second trimester, and 0 (95% CI 0-11.95) after an infection in the third trimester (P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that a cytomegalovirus infection can be severe only when the virus hits the fetus in the embryonic or early fetal period. Recent guidelines recommend auditory follow-ups for at least 5 years for all infected children. This raises parental anxiety and generates significant costs. We suggest that auditory and specialized neurologic follow-ups may be recommended only in cases of a maternal infection in the first trimester.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the perinatal management and outcomes of monochorionic twin pregnancies (MC) discordant for congenital anomalies (DCA). METHODS Retrospective, study of all MC DCA cases referred to our tertiary referral center from 1997 to 2018. We excluded cases complicated with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, twin anemia-polycythemia sequence, twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence or selective intra-uterine growth restriction. Patients were counseled about the possibility of expectant (EM) or interventional management (selective feticide [SF] or termination of the entire pregnancy [TOP]). RESULTS One hundred eight of 4157 (2.6%) MC pregnancies were discordant for anomaly. Fifty two of 108 n(48.1%) underwent SF at a mean gestational age of 31.4 ± 5.9 weeks while 52/108(48.1%) opted for EM. Livebirth rate of the healthy co-twin was similar between the two groups (SF: 88.5% vs EM: 82.7%, P = .87). In the SF group, six healthy co-twins (6/52, 11.5%) died 5.3 ± 3.1 days after SF of the abnormal co-twin. In the EM group, in-utero demise of the abnormal twin occurred in 9 of 52 (17.3%) of the cases and was followed by the spontaneous demise of the healthy co-twin in 4 of 9 (44.4%) of these cases. CONCLUSION Selective feticide does not seem to significantly alter survival of the healthy co-twin compared to EM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite undisputable benefits, midtrimester prenatal surgery is not a cure for myelomeningocele (MMC): residual intracranial and motor deficits leading to lifelong handicap question the timing of prenatal surgery. Indeed, the timing and intensity of intrauterine spinal cord injury remains ill defined. OBJECTIVE We aimed to describe the natural history of neuronal loss in MMC in utero based on postmortem pathology. STUDY DESIGN Pathology findings were analyzed in 186 cases of myelomeningocele with lesion level between S1 and T1. Using a case-control, cross-sectional design, we investigated the timewise progression and topographic extension of neuronal loss between 13 and 39 weeks. Motor neurons were counted on histology at several spinal levels in 54 isolated MMC meeting quality criteria for cell counting. These were expressed as observed-to-expected ratios, after matching for gestational age and spinal level with 41 controls. RESULTS Chiari II malformation increased from 30.7% to 91.6% after 16 weeks. The exposed spinal cord displayed early, severe, and progressive neuronal loss: the observed-to-expected count dropped from 17% to ≤2% after 16 weeks. Neuronal loss extended beyond the lesion to the upper levels: in cases <16 weeks, the observed-to-expected motor neuron count was 60% in the adjacent spinal cord, decreasing at a rate of 16% per week. Progressive loss was also found in the upper thoracic cord, but in much smaller proportions. The observed-over-expected ratio of motor neurons was not correlated with the level of myelomeningocele. CONCLUSIONS Significant neuronal loss is present ≤16 weeks in the exposed cord and progressively extends cranially. Earlier prenatal repair (<16 weeks) could prevent Chiari II malformation in 69.3% of cases, rescue the 17% remaining motor neurons in the exposed cord, and prevent the extension to the upper spinal cord.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To review perinatal and neurodevelopmental outcome (NDO) following selective fetoscopic laser coagulation (SFLC), cord coagulation (CC) or expectant management of monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies complicated with selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR) and absent or reverse end-diastolic flow (AREDF) in the umbilical arteries (UA). DESIGN AND SETTING Single-centre retrospective observational study. POPULATION 108 cases of sIUGR diagnosed before 26+6 weeks' gestation with AREDF in the UA. METHODS Survival rate and potential risk factors were analysed. NDO was assessed using parental questionnaires. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES Survival, gestational age at delivery and NDO. RESULTS SFLC, CC and EM were performed in 13, 50 and 45 cases, respectively, with an overall survival of 23.1, 40 and 77.8% and intrauterine demise of the co-twin of 30.8, 10 and 6.7% respectively. Intrauterine demise of the sIUGR twin occurred in 76.9 and 17.8% following SFLC and EM, respectively. The discordance in EFW at diagnosis was higher and absent/negative a-wave in the ductus venosus (DV) was more prevalent in the surgical groups. NDO in survivors at follow up was abnormal in 0 and 18% in the smaller twin following SFLC and EM, respectively, and in 25, 24 and 21% in the larger twin following SFLC, CC and EM, respectively. CONCLUSION SFLC yielded a poor result. EM seems a valid option when EFW discordance is <30% and a-wave in DV is positive. Otherwise, CC should be considered to protect the AGA co-twin. The long-term outcome of both small and large twins seems unaffected by the choice in primary prenatal management strategy. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT In type II sIUGR in MC twins, long-term neurodevelopment is normal in over 80% of the survivors.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the management and outcome in the post-laser twin anemia polycythemia sequence (TAPS). Data of the international TAPS Registry, collected between 2014 and 2019, were used for this study. The primary outcomes were perinatal mortality and severe neonatal morbidity. Secondary outcomes included a risk factor analysis for perinatal mortality and severe neonatal morbidity. A total of 164 post-laser TAPS pregnancies were included, of which 92% (151/164) were diagnosed antenatally and 8% (13/164) postnatally. The median number of days between laser for TTTS and detection of TAPS was 14 (IQR: 7-28, range: 1-119). Antenatal management included expectant management in 43% (62/151), intrauterine transfusion with or without partial exchange transfusion in 29% (44/151), repeated laser surgery in 15% (24/151), selective feticide in 7% (11/151), delivery in 6% (9/151), and termination of pregnancy in 1% (1/151). The median gestational age (GA) at birth was 31.7 weeks (IQR: 28.6-33.7; range: 19.0-41.3). The perinatal mortality rate was 25% (83/327) for the total group, 37% (61/164) for donors, and 14% (22/163) for recipients (p < 0.001). Severe neonatal morbidity was detected in 40% (105/263) of the cohort and was similar for donors (43%; 51/118) and recipients (37%; 54/145), p = 0.568. Independent risk factors for spontaneous perinatal mortality were antenatal TAPS Stage 4 (OR = 3.4, 95%CI 1.4-26.0, p = 0.015), TAPS donor status (OR = 4.2, 95%CI 2.1-8.3, p < 0.001), and GA at birth (OR = 0.8, 95%CI 0.7-0.9, p = 0.001). Severe neonatal morbidity was significantly associated with GA at birth (OR = 1.5, 95%CI 1.3-1.7, p < 0.001). In conclusion, post-laser TAPS most often occurs within one month after laser for TTTS, but may develop up to 17 weeks after initial surgery. Management is mostly expectant, but varies greatly, highlighting the lack of consensus on the optimal treatment and heterogeneity of the condition. Perinatal outcome is poor, particularly due to the high rate of perinatal mortality in donor twins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to assess whether the laterality of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) was a prognostic factor for neonatal survival. METHODS This was a cohort study using the French national database of the Reference Center for Diaphragmatic Hernias. The principal endpoint was survival after hospitalization in intensive care. We made a comparative study between right CDH and left CDH by univariate and multivariate analysis. Terminations and stillbirths were excluded from analyses of neonatal outcomes. RESULTS A total of 506 CDH were included with 67 (13%) right CDH and 439 left CDH (87%). Rate of survival was 49% for right CDH and 74% for left CDH (P < .01). Multivariate analysis showed two factors significantly associated with mortality: thoracic herniation of liver (OR 2.27; IC 95% [1.07-4.76]; P = .03) and lung-to-head-ratio over under expected (OR 2.99; IC 95% [1.41-6.36]; P < .01). Side of CDH was not significantly associated with mortality (OR 1.87; IC 95% [0.61-5.51], P = .26). CONCLUSION Rate of right CDH mortality is more important than left CDH. Nevertheless after adjusting for lung-to-head-ratio and thoracic herniation of liver, right CDH does not have a higher risk of mortality than left CDH.

Abstract
Background Congenital cytomegalovirus infection can lead to severe sequelae. When fetal infection is confirmed, we hypothesize that fetal treatment could improve the outcome. Maternal oral administration of an effective drug crossing the placenta could allow fetal treatment. Letermovir (LMV) and Maribavir (MBV) are new CMV antivirals, and potential candidates for fetal treatment. Methods The objective was to investigate the placental transfer of LMV and MBV in the ex vivo method of the human perfused cotyledon. Term placentas were perfused, in an open-circuit model, with LMV or MBV at concentrations in the range of clinical peak plasma concentrations. Concentrations were measured using ultraperformance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. Mean fetal transfer rate (FTR) (fetal (FC) /maternal concentration), clearance index (CLI), accumulation index (AI) (retention of each drug in the cotyledon tissue) were measured. Mean FC were compared with half maximal effective concentrations of the drugs (EC50(LMV) and EC50(MBV)). Results For LMV, the mean FC was (± standard deviation) 1.1 ± 0.2 mg/L, 1,000-fold above the EC50(LMV). Mean FTR, CLI and AI were 9 ± 1%, 35 ± 6% and 4 ± 2% respectively. For MBV, the mean FC was 1.4 ± 0.2 mg/L, 28-fold above the EC50(MBV). Mean FTR, CLI and AI were 10 ± 1%, 50 ± 7% and 2 ± 1% respectively. Conclusions Drugs’ concentrations in the fetal side should be in the range for in utero treatment of fetuses infected with CMV as the mean FC was superior to the EC50 for both molecules.

Abstract
Background: The understanding of the pathogenesis of cytomegalovirus (CMV)-induced fetal brain lesions is limited. We aimed to quantify adaptive and innate immune cells and CMV-infected cells in fetal brains with various degrees of brain damage. Methods: In total, 26 archived embedded fetal brains were studied, of which 21 were CMV-infected and classified in severely affected (n = 13) and moderately affected (n = 8), and 5 were uninfected controls. The respective magnitude of infected cells, immune cells (CD8+, B cells, plasma cells, NK cells, and macrophages), and expression of immune checkpoint receptors (PD-1/PD-L1 and LAG-3) were measured by immunochemistry and quantified by quantitative imaging analysis. Results: Quantities of CD8+, plasma cells, NK cells, macrophages, and HCMV+ cells and expression of PD-1/PD-L1 and LAG-3 were significantly higher in severely affected than in moderately affected brains (all p values < 0.05). A strong link between higher number of stained cells for HCMV/CD8 and PD-1 and severity of brain lesions was found by component analysis. Conclusions: The higher expression of CD8, PD-1, and LAG-3 in severely affected brains could reflect immune exhaustion of cerebral T cells. These exhausted T cells could be ineffective in controlling viral multiplication itself, leading to more severe brain lesions. The study of the functionality of brain leucocytes ex vivo is needed to confirm this hypothesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To define the predictive value (PV) of known prognostic factors of fetal infection with Cytomegalovirus following maternal primary infection <14 weeks of gestation, at different time points of pregnancy: the end of the second trimester; following prenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 32 weeks of gestation; and using all ultrasound scans performed in the third trimester (US3rdT). DESIGN A retrospective study. SETTING Reference fetal medicine unit. POPULATION Sixty-two fetuses infected <14 weeks of gestation. METHODS We defined second-trimester assessment (STA) as the combination of ultrasound findings <28 weeks of gestation and fetal platelet count at cordocentesis. Three groups were defined: normal, extracerebral, and cerebral STA. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES For each group, the PV of STA alone, STA + MRI, and STA + US3rdT were assessed retrospectively. Outcome at birth and at follow-up were reported. RESULTS The STA was normal, and with extracerebral and cerebral features, in 43.5, 42.0, and 14.5%, respectively. The negative PV of normal STA and MRI for moderate to severe sequelae was 100%. The residual risk was unilateral hearing loss in 16.7% of cases. Of pregnancies with cerebral STA, 44% were terminated. Following extracerebral STA, 48% of neonates were symptomatic and 30% had moderate to severe sequelae. In those cases, the positive and negative PV of MRI for sequelae were 33 and 73%, respectively. STA + US3rdT had a lower negative PV than MRI for symptoms at birth and for moderate to severe sequelae. Any false-positive findings at MRI were mostly the result of hypersignals of white matter. CONCLUSIONS Serial assessment in the second and third trimesters by ultrasound and MRI is necessary to predict the risk of sequelae occurring in 35% of pregnancies following fetal infection in the first trimester of pregnancy. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT Serial ultrasound prognostic assessment following fetal CMV infection in the 1st trimester is improved by MRI at 32 weeks.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Neural tube defects (NTDs) are one of the most common congenital anomalies caused by a complex interaction of many genetic and environmental factors. In about 10% of cases, NTDs are associated with genetic syndromes or chromosomal anomalies. Among these, SOX3 duplication has been reported in some isolated cases. The phenotype associated with this microduplication is variable and includes myelomeningocele (MMC) in both sexes as well as hypopituitarism and cognitive impairment in males. In order to determine the prevalence of this anomaly in fetuses with MMC, a retrospective cohort of fetuses with MMC was analyzed by quantitative PCR (qPCR) targeting SOX3 locus. METHODS The detection of an SOX3 microduplication by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) in two female fetuses with MMC prompted us to analyze retrospectively by qPCR this gene in a cohort of 53 fetuses with MMC. RESULTS In addition to our two initial cases, one fetus harboring an Xq27.1q28 duplication that encompasses the SOX3 gene was detected. CONCLUSION Our data demonstrate that SOX3 duplication is a genomic imbalance involved in the pathogenesis of NTDs. In addition, our survey highlights the importance of CMA testing in fetuses with NTDs to enable genetic counseling upstream of any considerations of in utero fetal surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim was to create and validate a community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) diagnostic algorithm to facilitate diagnosis and guide chest computed tomography (CT) scan indication in patients with CAP suspicion in Emergency Departments (ED). METHODS We performed an analysis of CAP suspected patients enrolled in the ESCAPED study who had undergone chest CT scan and detection of respiratory pathogens through nasopharyngeal PCRs. An adjudication committee assigned the final CAP probability (reference standard). Variables associated with confirmed CAP were used to create weighted CAP diagnostic scores. We estimated the score values for which CT scans helped correctly identify CAP, therefore creating a CAP diagnosis algorithm. Algorithms were externally validated in an independent cohort of 200 patients consecutively admitted in a Swiss hospital for CAP suspicion. RESULTS Among the 319 patients included, 51% (163/319) were classified as confirmed CAP and 49% (156/319) as excluded CAP. Cough (weight = 1), chest pain (1), fever (1), positive PCR (except for rhinovirus) (1), C-reactive protein ≥50 mg/L (2) and chest X-ray parenchymal infiltrate (2) were associated with CAP. Patients with a score below 3 had a low probability of CAP (17%, 14/84), whereas those above 5 had a high probability (88%, 51/58). The algorithm (score calculation + CT scan in patients with score between 3 and 5) showed sensitivity 73% (95% CI 66-80), specificity 89% (95% CI 83-94), positive predictive value (PPV) 88% (95% CI 81-93), negative predictive value (NPV) 76% (95% CI 69-82) and area under the curve (AUC) 0.81 (95% CI 0.77-0.85). The algorithm displayed similar performance in the validation cohort (sensitivity 88% (95% CI 81-92), specificity 72% (95% CI 60-81), PPV 86% (95% CI 79-91), NPV 75% (95% CI 63-84) and AUC 0.80 (95% CI 0.73-0.87). CONCLUSION Our CAP diagnostic algorithm may help reduce CAP misdiagnosis and optimize the use of chest CT scan.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Whether in-hospital management of patients with newly identified vertebral fractures leads to a higher rate of osteoporosis medication than delayed outpatient management remains unknown. Our study showed that early osteoporosis therapy initiation in a fracture liaison service during hospital stay was a more efficacious strategy for secondary fracture prevention. INTRODUCTION Fracture liaison services are standard care for secondary fracture prevention. A higher rate of osteoporosis treatment initiation may be considered when introduced in the hospital rather than an outpatient recommendation to a primary care physician (PCP). Whether this applies to patients with newly detected vertebral fractures in a general internal medicine ward remains unknown. We prospectively investigated whether in-hospital management of newly identified vertebral fractures led to a higher rate of osteoporosis medication initiation and persistence at 3 and 6 months than delayed outpatient management by a PCP. METHODS We conducted a prospective study including hospitalized patients > 60 years systematically searched for asymptomatic vertebral fractures on lateral chest and/or abdominal radiographs. Patients were included either in phase 1 (outpatient care recommendations on osteoporosis management to a PCP) or in phase 2 (inpatient care management initiated during hospitalization). The percentage of patients under osteoporosis treatment was evaluated by telephone interview at 3 and 6 months. RESULTS Outpatients' (84 with fracture/407 assessed (21%); 75.7 ± 7.7 years) and inpatients' (100/524 (19%); 77.8 ± 9.4 years) characteristics were similar. Osteoporosis medication was more often prescribed in inpatients at 3 (67% vs. 19%, respectively; p < 0.001) and 6 months (69 vs. 27%, respectively; p < 0.001). The percentage under treatment was also higher in inpatients than in outpatients at 3 (52 vs. 19%, p < 0.001) and 6 months (54 vs. 22%, p < 0.001). Length of stay and destination post-discharge were not different between groups. CONCLUSIONS Early patient management after a newly detected vertebral fracture during hospitalization was a more efficacious strategy of secondary fracture prevention than delayed outpatient management following discharge.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION These Guidelines aim to describe appropriate assessment of fetal biometry and diagnosis of fetal growth disorders. These disorders consist mainly of fetal growth restriction (FGR), also referred to as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and often associated with small‐for‐gestational age (SGA), and large‐for‐gestational age (LGA), which may lead to fetal macrosomia; both have been associated with a variety of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. Screening for, and adequate management of, fetal growth abnormalities are essential components of antenatal care, and fetal ultrasound plays a key role in assessment of these conditions. The fetal biometric parameters measured most commonly are biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC) and femur diaphysis length (FL). These biometric measurements can be used to estimate fetal weight (EFW) using various different formulae1. It is important to differentiate between the concept of fetal size at a given timepoint and fetal growth, the latter being a dynamic process, the assessment of which requires at least two ultrasound scans separated in time. Maternal history and symptoms, amniotic fluid assessment and Doppler velocimetry can provide additional information that may be used to identify fetuses at risk of adverse pregnancy outcome. Accurate estimation of gestational age is a prerequisite for determining whether fetal size is appropriate‐for‐gestational age (AGA). Except for pregnancies arising from assisted reproductive technology, the date of conception cannot be determined precisely. Clinically, most pregnancies are dated by the last menstrual period, though this may sometimes be uncertain or unreliable. Therefore, dating pregnancies by early ultrasound examination at 8–14 weeks, based on measurement of the fetal crown–rump length (CRL), appears to be the most reliable method to establish gestational age. Once the CRL exceeds 84 mm, HC should be used for pregnancy dating2–4. HC, with or without FL, can be used for estimation of gestational age from the mid‐trimester if a first‐trimester scan is not available and the menstrual history is unreliable. When the expected delivery date has been established by an accurate early scan, subsequent scans should not be used to recalculate the gestational age1. Serial scans can be used to determine if interval growth has been normal. In these Guidelines, we assume that the gestational age is known and has been determined as described above, the pregnancy is singleton and the fetal anatomy is normal. Details of the grades of recommendation used in these Guidelines are given in Appendix 1. Reporting of levels of evidence is not applicable to these Guidelines.
