    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate how to detect intrauterine fetal growth of twins with height of uterine fundus. METHODS: This study was a randomized coupling trial. 75-couples of twins and single gestation were involved. Linear regression analysis was made after correcting the uterine height of single gestation. RESULTS: If each of twins develops as the same as single gestation, the relationship in uterine height between twins and single gestation can be described as a correlation equation: y = 1.26x + 1.3 (R2 = 0.656, r = 0.81, P < 0.001). The regression coefficient is 1.26, which is very closed to 3 square root of 2. According to the correlation equation, we made a table to forecast the uterine height of twins and single gestation in different gestational age. CONCLUSION: The ralationship in the uterine height between twins and single gestation can be used to predict intrauterine fetal growth of twins.
