Placental abruption in twin pregnancies is linked to increased cardiovascular disease risk in offspring through preterm delivery.
Does placental abruption increase cardiovascular disease risk in twin offspring?
Placental abruption increases the risk of cardiovascular disease in twin offspring through early adulthood, largely mediated by preterm delivery.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Placental abruption is associated with higher CVD risk in twins through early adulthood, with substantial mediation of effects through preterm delivery. Efforts to optimize obstetric care for pregnant women carrying twins to reduce the risk of abruption may be worthy of consideration. This may translate to public health benefits in reducing CVD in twin offspring.
