Neurodevelopmental outcomes for SIUGR-II MCDA twins were similarly favorable, whether managed expectantly or with laser treated. However, the significantly different GA at delivery (28.3 versus 33.4 weeks, p = .0039, expectant versus laser, respectively) may suggest improved outcomes in laser-treated patients in a larger cohort.
