“…Other influencing factors are preterm birth and low gestational birth weight. Studies have shown that in ART there is a higher risk for preterm birth and low birth weight even after excluding twin births (Tarlatzis and Grimbizis 1999, Wagenaar et al 2009, Schieve et al 2002. From the literature it is known that preterm birth and low birth weight increase a child's risk for developing a language impairment (Sansavini et al 2010, Wolke andMeyer 1999).…”

This study presents the first data concerning language outcome in 3-10-year-old children born following AOA. General language scores of the AOA children in this study are located within the normal ranges. The language development of singletons was significantly better compared with twins. Although the results are reassuring for language development, in future long-term follow-up studies in this population are necessary.

“…On the other hand, lower scores on eye-hand coordination in ICSI children and worsened visual-motor competence in IVF adolescents were observed, although these scores were still within the normal range (Sutcliffe et al, 1999;Wagenaar et al, 2009b). Ponjaert-Kristoffersen et al (2004) additionally presented a trend indicating that ICSI children did worse on motor development than spontaneously conceived children when they were at the age of 5 years, though selection bias, educational level, age of the mother, and cultural differences might account for the differences that were found.…”

Abstract:Over the course of the past 35 years, assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) have been increasingly used worldwide, while debates on their safety have been generated. Birth defects and imprinting disorders were reported in previous research. Thus, the psychological development of children born following ARTs has become a major concern nowadays. This review gives a systematic view of psychological well-being of children conceived by different types of ART, including in vitro fertilization, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), preimplantation genetic diagnosis/screening, and in vitro maturation. The previous studies are analyzed in three sections: (1) cognitive, motor, and language developments, (2) behavior problems and socio-emotional development, and (3) parent-child relationship. We conclude that although the majority of the studies on cognitive, motor, and language developments reported comparable achievements in the ART group vs. the naturally conceived group, lower intelligence quotient (IQ) scores, worse visual-motor ability or locomotor development, and delayed receptive language competence were found in the ART group. The results on the socio-emotional development were reassuring. As for the behavior problems, a higher prevalence of behavior problems existed in ART children; moreover, ICSI children were found to be at a higher risk of autism than the general population. Meanwhile, ART parents tended to have positive parental attitudes and be more protective of their children. Some suggestions for further research are also given in this review.

“…However, the overwhelming majority of the studies on the neurodevelopment of children born at full term after ART consistently show that these children are in a comparable condition to NC children (Källén et al, 2005;Ponjaert-Kristoffersen et al, 2005;Leunens et al, 2006;Wagenaar et al, 2008;2009b;Hvidtjørn et al, 2009;Carson et al, 2010;Mains et al, 2010;Tsai et al, 2011). The follow-up studies have all focused on kids and adolescents through 18 years of age because of the short duration of ART's history.…”

Long-term follow-up of children conceived through assisted reproductive technology

Children conceived via assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are nowadays a substantial proportion of the population. It is important to follow up these children and evaluate whether they have elevated health risks compared to naturally conceived (NC) children. In recent years there has been a lot of work in this field. This review will summarize what is known about the health of ART-conceived children, encompassing neonatal outcomes, birth defects, growth and gonadal developments, physical health, neurological and neurodevelopmental outcomes, psychosocial developments, risk for cancer, and epigenetic abnormalities. Most of the children conceived after ART are normal. However, there is increasing evidence that ART-conceived children are at higher risk of poor perinatal outcome, birth defects, and epigenetic disorders, and the mechanism(s) leading to these changes have not been elucidated. Continuous follow-up of children after ART is of great importance as they progress through adolescence into adulthood, and new ART techniques are constantly being introduced.
