Association between in vitro fertilization and ischemic placental disease by gestational age.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the association between in vitro fertilization (IVF) and ischemic placental disease (IPD), stratified by gestational age.

Design

We performed a secondary analysis of a retrospective cohort study of deliveries.

Setting

Deliveries were performed over 15 years at a single tertiary hospital.

Patient(s)

We included all parturients who had a live born infant or an intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD).

Intervention(s)

We compared pregnancies resulting from IVF cycles to non-IVF pregnancies.

Main outcome measure(s)

The primary outcomes were preterm and term IPD (preeclampsia, placental abruption, small-for-gestational age infant [SGA], or an intrauterine fetal demise [IUFD] due to placental insufficiency).

Result(s)

Of the 69,084
