“…A large study of data obtained from three births registries in Western Australia revealed an increased incidence of congenital malformations in children born after IVF/ ICSI compared to children conceived naturally [19]. In addition, in a questionnaire-based comparative study (ART group versus the general population), singleton ART pregnancies had an increased risk of preterm delivery and low birth weight at term, but non-lethal congenital malformation rates were not increased following ART [20]. Moreover, a [1 -6] systematic review on the prevalence of birth defects in infants conceived after IVF/ ICSI versus spontaneously conceived infants had noted that two-thirds of the identified studies showed a 25% or greater increased risk of birth defects in the former group [21].…”

ABSTRACT:Background: We aimed to compare perinatal outcomes of intracytoplasmicsperm injection (ICSI) versus naturally (spontaneously) concieved age and parity matched group of singleton pregnants. Methods: Two hundred and sixteen singleton pregnancies aged between 18-45 years old were included in this study. Among all study group, 106 cases were ICSI pregnancies (study group) and 110 cases were spontaneously concieved singleton pregnancies (control group). Pregnancy outcome parameters were: the incidence of chronic hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, placenta previa, placental abruption, preterm birth, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, gestational diabetes, preterm premature rupture of membranes, caesarean delivery. Results: There were no differences in terms of maternal age, BMI, gravidity, parity, gestational weeks at birth and birth weight between ICSI and spontaneously concieved pregnancy groups. Placental abruption, gestational diabetes and cesarean section rates were significantly higher in ICSI pregnancies than spontaneously conceived pregnancies (4.7% vs 0%, 21.7% vs 11.8% and 82.1% vs 68.2%, respectively). There wereno statistically significant differences in terms of chronic hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, preterm labor, placenta previa, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, preterm and term premature rupture of the membranes. Conclusion: ICSI pregnancies have higher adverse perinatal outcomes than spontaneously conceived singleton pregnancies which were matched with age and parity. That's why ICSI pregnancies should be given a detailed counseling about the adverse perinatal outcomes and should be followed up more carefully through the pregnancy.

Multiple gestations are high risk pregnancies which may be complicated by prematurity,low birthweight, pre-eclampsia, anaemia, postpartum haemorrhage, intrauterine growth restriction, neonatal morbidity and high neonatal and infant mortality. There are more multiple births today in part because more women are receiving infertility treatment, which carries a risk of multiple pregnancy.They are many risk factors for multiple pregnancy such as: race, heredity, maternal age and pregnancy history as well as fertility drugs and assisted reproductive technology(ART). The frequency of twins increases with maternal age and number of pregnancies. Multiple pregnancy is more common in women who utilize fertility medications to undergo ovulation induction or superovulation. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) also contribute to the increase in the multiple birth rate. The risk of multiple pregnancy increases as the number of embryos transferred increases.
