Summary
Preconception care in Italy is underutilized, despite its potential to reduce reproductive risks. A new personalized model aims to improve maternal and fetal outcomes through comprehensive history evaluation.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Medicine
- Public Health
Background:
- Preconception care units are scarce in Italy.
- Public awareness of preventable reproductive risks is low.
Purpose of the Study:
- Introduce a personalized, multidisciplinary preconception care model.
- Identify and mitigate adverse reproductive events.
Main Methods:
- Analyze three distinct population cohorts: general, infertile/subfertile, and those with prior adverse reproductive events.
- Conduct thorough investigations of family, personal, and reproductive histories.
Main Results:
- The proposed model facilitates a detailed assessment of reproductive health factors.
- Personalized care plans can be developed based on individual risk profiles.
Conclusions:
- Preconception care is neglected in Italy, impacting natural and in vitro reproduction outcomes.
- Effective preconception counseling is crucial for improving maternal and fetal health.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. This process is designed to help individuals and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving.
The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, during which reproductive endocrinologists prescribe hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the single...
