Facts, views & vision in ObGyn·2014

The global rise in multiple births since 1980 is linked to delayed reproduction and fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization. Strategies include transferring fewer embryos and reporting singleton births to manage this trend.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Obstetrics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Worldwide increase in multiple births since 1980.
  • Contributing factors include increased maternal age, ovulation induction, and in vitro fertilization (IVF).
  • Each factor is estimated to contribute approximately one-third to the rise in multiple births.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the causes and trends of increased multiple births globally.
  • To discuss strategies for managing and reducing multiple gestations.
  • To emphasize the importance of reporting outcomes in assisted reproductive technologies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing data on multiple birth rates and assisted reproductive technologies.
  • Analysis of contributing factors: maternal age, ovulation induction, and IVF.

  • Discussion of current practices and recommendations for IVF embryo transfer and cryopreservation.

    • Main Results:

    • Quintuplets and higher-order multiples are predominantly linked to ovulation induction.
    • Limited regulatory efforts exist for ovulation induction compared to IVF.
    • Optimizing embryo selection and cryopreservation in IVF can improve singleton pregnancy rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Selective transfer of one or two high-quality blastocysts in IVF can achieve high pregnancy rates.
    • Accurate reporting of singleton, twin, and triplet live birth rates from assisted reproductive technologies is crucial.
    • Financial constraints should not limit IVF access, advocating for increased procedures with fewer embryos transferred.
