Περιγεννητικά αποτελέσματα IVF κυήσεων
Translated title:
Perinatal outcomes of IVF pregnancies
Summary:
In the literature, there is increasing evidence that pregnancies resulting from assisted reproductive technologies have an increased risk of perinatal complications. In addition, the treatments used in assisted reproductive technologies involve many clinical and biological risk factors. This thesis aims to summarize in a systematic way the current evidence on the impact of different assisted reproductive technology procedures on the risk of perinatal outcome. A literature search was performed in PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science and Google Scholar and an evidence-based hierarchy was used to determine which articles to include and analyze. Data on maternal factors prior to pregnancy, low-tech interventions, male factor-specific procedures, ovarian/ovarian and uterine tissue transplantation were excluded. The current work highlights that each assisted reproductive procedure can play a critical role in increasing the risk of perinatal complications, however the absolute increase in risk is generally low.
