Pregnancy and perinatal outcomes after assisted reproduction: a comparative study

Abstract: Multi-foetal gestations remain the principal cause of adverse perinatal outcomes after ART. Singleton ART pregnancies have an increased risk of preterm delivery and low birth weight at term. Non-lethal congenital malformation rates are not increased following ART. Placenta praevia is increased following ART.

“…A large study of data obtained from three births registries in Western Australia revealed an increased incidence of congenital malformations in children born after IVF/ ICSI compared to children conceived naturally [19]. In addition, in a questionnaire-based comparative study (ART group versus the general population), singleton ART pregnancies had an increased risk of preterm delivery and low birth weight at term, but non-lethal congenital malformation rates were not increased following ART [20]. Moreover, a [1 -6] systematic review on the prevalence of birth defects in infants conceived after IVF/ ICSI versus spontaneously conceived infants had noted that two-thirds of the identified studies showed a 25% or greater increased risk of birth defects in the former group [21].…”
