The association between small-for-gestational age triplet pregnancies and neonatal mortality: a novel approach to growth assessment in multiple gestations.

Abstract:

:It is customary to estimate the uteroplacental function in singletons by defining appropriateness of birth weight by gestational age. Such a measure, however, is not available for the entire multiple pregnancy set. We evaluate a new index, total triplet birth weight, expressed as multiples of the median (MOM) birth weight of singleton gestations. We categorized triplet sets as small-, appropriate-, and large-for-gestational age pregnancies (SGA, AGA, and LGA, respectively), defined as <1 SD, +/-1 SD, and >1 SD from the mean MOM birth weight of singleton gestations. We used the 1995-1998 US matched multiple dataset to evaluate this index and to explore the association between the three categories in terms of risk of neonatal mortality. The mean +/- SD MOM value was 2.3 +/- 0.4. There was an inverse correlation between mean MOM and gestational age. LGA pregnancy status was associated with multiparity, race (being white), and high social status (education). Maternal age did not influence MOM scores. Compared with the LGA pregnancy category, the risk for neonatal mortality was more than doubled in the AGA pregnancy group and more than 9-fold in the SGA pregnancy category. We propose that this new measure could be a useful proxy for the uteroplacental efficiency in a similar way that the SGA designation works for singleton infants.
