Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
Retrospective study
Monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) pregnancies for which trimester blood samples and outcome data have been stored.

Prospective study
Cohort S will be patients:
1. Booking at Birmingham Women's Clinic with an MCDA pregnancy confirmed on first-trimester ultrasound
2. Less than 20+6 weeks gestation at recruitment
3. Provide valid informed consent

Cohort C will be patients:
1. Referred to Birmingham Women's Hospital for treatment of a complication of monochorionic pregnancies
2. Provide valid informed consent

Exclusion criteria:
1. Unable to provide consent
2. Unable to confirm chorionicity


Age minimum:
Age maximum:
Gender: Female
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Complications of monochorionic (MC) twin pregnancies including twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), twin anaemia-polycythaemia sequence (TAPS), selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR) and single intrauterine fetal demise (sIUFD)
Pregnancy and Childbirth
Intervention(s)

There are two parts to this trial: a retrospective study and a prospective study.

In the retrospective study (OMMIT 1), markers of angiogenesis (blood vessel developmental) and placental function in the stored first-trimester blood samples will be analysed, these will then be combined with first-trimester ultrasound measurements and matched to outcome data to attempt to create a model.

In the prospective study (OMMIT 2), there will be 2 cohorts: Cohort S and Cohort C.
Cohort S will have blood samples taken at 12, 16 and 20 weeks gestation, their ultrasound measurements will be recorded and their outcomes collected. Cohort C will have a maternal blood sample pre- FLA and post-FLA. Amniotic fluid samples will be collected immediately pre-FLA and post-FLA, and ultrasound measurements. Researchers will use the results of the retrospective study to decide which biomarkers to investigate in the blood and amniotic fluid samples.
The following will then be compared:
1. "Normal" Cohort S blood samples to Cohort C samples
2. Cohort S samples longitudinally over the 3 time points
3. Cohort C pre-FLA and post-FLA blood and amniotic fluid samples
Primary Outcome(s)

Complication of MC pregnancy:
1. TTTS
2. Discordant growth
3. Selective IUGR
4. Single twin demise: <24 weeks, >24 weeks
5. Discordant chromosomal or structural anomaly
6. Neonatal mortality (until discharge)

These outcomes will be extracted from the hospital notes using a specially designed data collection form and recognised definitions of conditions where appropriate.
Secondary Outcome(s)

1. Antenatal complications (e.g. antepartum haemorrhage, small for gestational age, gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia)
2. Maternal morbidity: (e.g. sepsis, hypertension, platelet or coagulation anomaly)
3. Gestation of delivery (If preterm <37 weeks iatrogenic or spontaneous)
4. Induction (or C/S) and precipitating cause
5. Mode of delivery (and reason)
6. Admission to NICU (and indication)
7. Composite measure of maternal morbidity
8. Composite measure of neonatal morbidity

These outcomes will be extracted from the hospital notes using a specially designed data collection form and recognised definitions of conditions where appropriate.
