Assisted reproductive techniques and effects on newborns
Summary:
The purpose of this dissertation was to constitute a recording of the latest data from surveys that have dealt with the perinatal and neonatal outcomes of pregnancies conceived after using the assisted reproductive techniques, until September 2023.
The first step of the review was to analyze the term subfertility and note down the causes, the diagnostic procedure and the latest fertility treatments. The second step regards the analysis of the published bibliography, with purpose to comprehend if the use of the assisted reproductive techniques affects the perinatal and neonatal outcomes.
In conclusion, it seems that pregnancies after ART are at increased risk of preterm birth and low birth weight, when the newborns showed increased rates of urologic, heart, metabolic and breath defects. On the other hand, neurodevelopmental outcomes and the rates of cancer and congenital defects were comparable to the general population. It is important, future research to clarify if the complications are related to the techniques or the subfertility.
