Abstract

Purpose: Extreme use of Assisted Reproductive Technology (1) in infertile women can lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine the pregnancy outcomes in infertile women who were treated with ART and compared in spontaneous pregnancy. Materials and Method: In this retrospective study which was done in Imam Khomeini hospital, Sari, Iran, 100 pregnant women who were treated with ART were entered into our study, randomly. The interviewer talked to them and filled the questionnaires. Moreover, the adverse pregnancy outcomes were compared with 100 women with spontaneous pregnancy. Results: These two groups were matched regarding some quantitative, qualitative variables and history of adverse pregnancy outcomes. The common causes of infertility were ovarian, male, and unknown factors. The incidence of some adverse pregnancy outcomes in infertile women who were treated with ART (such as: late abortion, low birth weight, premature rupture of membrane, ectopic pregnancy, multiple pregnancy, gestational diabetes, intra uterine fetal death, neonatal death, hypertension in pregnancy and preeclampsia) was significantly ( p< 0.05) higher than spontaneous pregnancy. Conclusion: Some complications of adverse pregnancy outcomes in fetus and mother are common in pregnancy with ART.
