Association between assisted reproductive technology and the risk of autism spectrum disorders in the offspring: a meta-analysis

“…Besides, there were 4 records16171819 excluded for overlapping data. Finally, 11 records1520212223242526272829 (11 studies) were included in our meta-analysis (3 cohort studies and 8 case-control studies). The Flow diagram is shown in Fig.…”

“…Subsequently, Galbraith plot was conducted to graphically evaluate the sources of heterogeneity. Three studies202228 were outside the bounds in Galbraith plot (Supplementary Figure S2), which were identified as the primary sources of our between-study heterogeneity. Once the 3 studies were removed, the heterogeneity decreased effectively ( I 2  =  31.7%, P  > 0.001).…”

Academic performance in adolescents aged 15–16 years born after frozen embryo transfer compared with fresh embryo transfer: a nationwide registry‐based cohort study

“…A higher risk of poor perinatal outcomes in children conceived by ART has led to several studies investigating the children's cognitive development . In spontaneously conceived children, low birth weight (LBW; <2500 g) and preterm birth (PTB; <37 weeks) may affect cognitive function negatively .…”

“…4,5 A higher risk of poor perinatal outcomes in children conceived by ART has led to several studies investigating the children's cognitive development. [6][7][8][9][10][11] In spontaneously conceived children, low birth weight (LBW; <2500 g) and preterm birth (PTB; <37 weeks) may affect cognitive function negatively. [12][13][14] However, studies on cognitive development in ART children are inconsistent: while some studies observe an increased risk of impaired cognitive development and risk of mental disorders such as attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), [6][7][8] other studies do not find any differences.…”
