Use of Web-Based Surveys to Collect Long-Term Pediatric Outcomes in Patients With Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome Treated With Fetoscopic Laser Photocoagulation: Observational Study

Use of Web-Based Surveys to Collect Long-Term Pediatric Outcomes in Patients With Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome Treated With Fetoscopic Laser Photocoagulation: Observational Study

Twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) results from unbalanced vascular communications in a shared placenta between monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins. Bidirectional vascular communications are present in up to 95% of MCDA twins and allow for a single, shared circulatory system [1]. However, in 9%‐15% of MCDA twins, unbalanced vascular communications produce a pathological state in which one fetus (the donor twin) overtransfuses the cotwin (the recipient) [2,3].

A National Comparative Investigation of Twins With Congenital Heart Defects for Neurodevelopmental Outcomes and Quality of Life (Same Same, but Different?): Protocol for a Prospective Observational Study

A National Comparative Investigation of Twins With Congenital Heart Defects for Neurodevelopmental Outcomes and Quality of Life (Same Same, but Different?): Protocol for a Prospective Observational Study

This study is a national, German-wide prospective cohort study investigating twin siblings with at least one having a CHD. They are registered in the National Register for Congenital Heart Defects (NRCHD), the largest register for patients with CHD in Europe [17]. The inclusion takes place by written information sheets and an invitation to participate (see Figure 1).
