Perinatal outcomes in 13,626 singleton pregnancies after autologous IVF across three continents over 7 years
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics(2023)
Abstract
Purpose Are trends in singleton autologous IVF perinatal outcomes consistent over time among five international infertility centers? Methods This was a retrospective cohort study from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2018. This study was performed through a large infertility network at five international infertility centers in which patients who had a singleton live birth resulting from fresh and frozen autologous IVF cycles were included. The primary outcome was live birth weight (BW) with secondary outcomes of preterm birth (PTB), large for gestational age (LGA), small for gestational age (SGA), and gestational age at delivery. Results The entire cohort ( n = 13,626) consisted of 6941 fresh and 6685 frozen autologous IVF cycles leading to singleton deliveries. Maternal age, parity, body mass index, neonatal sex, and GA at delivery were similar for fresh and frozen IVF cycles in the entire cohort and within each infertility center. Four centers had a trend of decreased BW and three centers had decreased rates of PTB before 32 and 28 weeks and LGA newborns annually, although significance was not reached. Three IVF centers had annual increased trends of PTB before 37 weeks and four centers had increased rates of SGA newborns, although significance was not reached. Conclusion Similar trends in perinatal outcomes were present across five international infertility centers over 7 years. Additional studies are crucial to further assess and optimize perinatal outcomes at an international level.
