Abstract

Long-term follow-up studies on the health and the development of children conceived by assisted reproduction (ART) are mandatory to assess the safety of ART. Meanwhile, different aspects of health of these children have been studied. To put these results together, we performed a systematic review of these publications. A Pubmed search and a hand-search of the abstract books from the annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology and the American Society of Reproductive Medicine were performed for controlled studies on the developmental outcome of children after ART, which include a matching for plurality of gestation. Regarding general health, growth, mental and psychomotor development IVF children do not differ from spontaneously conceived (SC) children. An increased need for surgical interventions may be due to an increase in the malformation rate. However, a lower birth weight and lower gestational age compared to matched controls may contribute to some health problems observed. The increased risk of neurological problems found in some large registry-based studies can partly be explained by the higher frequency of twins born, by low birth weight, and by low gestational age also found in singleton...Continue Reading
