The present study compares 465 singleton live deliveries from in-vitro fertilization/gamete intra-Fallopian transfer (IVF/GIFT) pregnancies with a large control population to evaluate the incidence of pre-term delivery and small for gestational age (SGA) or very small for gestation age (VSGA) babies resulting from IVF/GIFT pregnancies. Overall the incidence of SGA or VSGA from an IVF/GIFT pregnancy is higher than from the normal obstetric population (SGA odds ratio 1.76, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.38-2.25 and VSGA odds ratio 1.61, 95% CI: 1.05-2.46) particularly among primiparous women (SGA odds ratio 1.99, 95% CI: 1.25-3.16 and VSGA odds ratio 1.97, 95% CI: 1.49-2.62). After stratifying by the cause of infertility, only women with unexplained infertility had a significantly higher proportion of SGA/VSGA babies. There was a significantly higher incidence of pre-term deliveries among the young primiparae (odds ratio 5.02, 95% CI: 3.09-8.13). Thus the excess risk of delivering a SGA/VSGA baby and pre-term delivery from an IVF/GIFT pregnancy seems to be largely confined to women with unexplained infertility and young primiparae.

D011256 Pregnancy Outcome Results of conception and ensuing pregnancy, including LIVE BIRTH; STILLBIRTH; or SPONTANEOUS ABORTION. The outcome may follow natural or artificial insemination or any of the various ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNIQUES, such as EMBRYO TRANSFER or FERTILIZATION IN VITRO.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
