Abstract

Background

The primary aim of the study is to investigate the perinatal outcomes in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) with monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancy.

Methods

This study is a retrospective observational study for women with ICP and MCDA twin pregnancy. Included cases were divided into mild ICP group (10–39 mmol/L) and severe ICP group (> = 40 mmol/L), whose perinatal outcomes were compared between this two groups and whose predictors of adverse perinatal outcomes were evaluated.

Results

37 cases and 21 cases are in mild and severe ICP group respectively, of which, the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and iatrogenic preterm delivery in severe ICP group are higher than those in mild ICP group. Gestational age (GA) at diagnosis of ICP < 32 weeks is an independent risk factor for GA at delivery < 35 weeks and for composite adverse neonatal outcome. Total bile acids (TBA) > 40 mmol/l is an independent risk factor for meconium-stained amniotic fluid.

Conclusion

For women with ICP and MCDA twin pregnancy, GA at diagnosis of ICP < 32 weeks and TBA > 40umol/L are associated with adverse perinatal outcomes.
