When singleton charts are used to define SGA in twins and in singletons, there is a greater degree of growth-related neonatal morbidity amongst SGA twins than in SGA singletons. Consequently, use of singleton charts in twins does not inappropriately over diagnose fetal growth restriction and they should be used for monitoring fetal growth both in twins and in singletons.
