Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

A clinical case of feto-fetal transfusion syndrome in a newborn is presented. Feto-fetal transfusion syndrome (FFTS) is a severe complication of multiple monochoric pregnancy, which requires timely, correct diagnosis, diagnosis and subsequent fetoscopic laser coagulation of anastomoses to preserve pregnancy. The above clinical case of FFTS in a newborn child allows neonatologists and neonatal intensive care unit specialists to focus their attention on the features of the clinic, diagnosis and treatment of this pathology. The formation of FFTS in this case became possible due to a single placenta, which probably led to the development of transplacental vascular communications and circulatory imbalance between the intraplacental vascular beds of twin fetuses.
