Assisted reproductive techniques (ART) have increased multiple births, leading to high infant morbidity and family challenges. Greater caution in superovulation treatments is needed to reduce multiple births.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Perinatology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Assisted reproductive techniques (ART), including in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and ovulation induction, have significantly increased multiple birth rates.
  • Multiple births are associated with high rates of premature birth, leading to substantial perinatal morbidity.
  • Families with multiple births face considerable social and psychological challenges.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the trends in multiple births caused by ART.
  • To identify the primary drivers of high-order multiple births over time.
  • To highlight the impact of ART on infant health and family well-being.

Summary:

  • While IVF initially drove high-order multiple births, superovulation is now the predominant cause.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Despite a stabilization in high-order multiples since 1990, a recent surge in ART twins is increasing severely preterm births.
  • The study emphasizes the need for increased restraint in superovulation treatments to mitigate the rise in multiple births.

    • Impact:

    • ART-induced multiple births pose significant risks to infant health, particularly concerning prematurity.
    • The findings underscore the need for revised clinical practices in ART to improve perinatal outcomes.
    • Reducing multiple births through more judicious ART application is crucial for enhancing infant and family welfare.
