Is twin pregnancy necessarily an adverse outcome of assisted reproductive technologies?

It has recently been suggested that the measure of success of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) should be the birth of a singleton baby, whereas a twin pregnancy should be considered as a complication. Although the maternal and neonatal complications in twin pregnancies are significantly higher than those in singleton pregnancies, the classification of a twin pregnancy as a complication ...

I-21: Outcome of Twin Pregnancy

comparison of twin pregnancy outcome after assisted reproductive technology with and without embryo reduction

background: spontaneous occurrences of multifetal pregnancies always have been a medical problem. the risks of perinatal morbidity and mortality and maternal morbidity increase with enhancement of the number of fetuses. in our prospective experimental study, the outcome of twin pregnancy after assisted reproductive technologies (art) with and without multifetal pregnancy reduction (mfpr) is com...

day 3 serum inhibin-b level is not predictive of ovarian assisted reproductive technologies outcome

background: the ability of the ovary to respond to exogenous gonadotrophin stimulation and development of several follicles is essential in assisted reproductive technology. neither age and regularity of menses nor follicular phase fsh and estradiol concentrations are reliable predictors of ovarian response. day 3 serum inhibin-b level, during induction ovulation, has been proposed as a predict...

Assisted reproductive technology and pregnancy outcome.

OBJECTIVE To determine whether the use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) is associated with an increase in chromosomal abnormalities, fetal malformations, or adverse pregnancy outcomes. METHODS A prospective database from a large multicenter investigation of singleton pregnancies, the First And Second Trimester Evaluation of Risk trial, was examined. Subjects were divided into 3 group...
