Long-term neurodevelopmental outcome
We followed up all 19 living twins born between 2004 and 2015. The mean
age of the twins at the time of the survey was 7 years (range 2-13
years). Of the 19 tested children, 13 (68.4%) were reportedly normal, 5
children (26.3%) were scored as subnormal and one (5.3%) was rated
abnormal due to cerebral palsy. Examples of mild neurologic anomalies
included the following functioning areas: vision, speech, dexterity,
learning and remembering. The results of the survival rate and long-term
neurodevelopmental outcomes were compared with the AR and FLA
procedures’ results published by other authors 10, 11,
13, 26-28 and are presented in Tables 2.
