Assisted Reproductive Technique and Abnormal Cord Insertion: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Abnormal cord insertion (ACI) is associated with adverse obstetric outcomes; however, the relationship between ACI and assisted reproductive technology (ART) has not been examined in a meta-analysis. This study examines the association between ACI and ART, and delivery outcomes of women with ACI. A systematic review was conducted, and 16 studies (1990-2021) met the inclusion criteria. In the unadjusted pooled analysis (n = 10), ART was correlated with a higher rate of velamentous cord insertion (VCI) (odds ratio (OR) 2.14, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.64-2.79), marginal cord insertion (n = 6; OR 1.58, 95%CI 1.26-1.99), and vasa previa (n = 1; OR 10.96, 95%CI 2.94-40.89). Nevertheless, the VCI rate was similar among the different ART types (blastocyst versus cl
