What this trial studies

This prospective cohort study aims to investigate the relationship between various parameters of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) and perinatal outcomes in both singleton and multiple pregnancies. Researchers will assess whether ART pregnancies are linked to higher risks of conditions such as fetal growth restriction, preeclampsia, and stillbirth, while also examining potential placental and umbilical cord abnormalities. The study will adjust for confounding factors like maternal age and BMI, and will analyze outcomes based on specific ART techniques and protocols. By clarifying these associations, the study seeks to enhance clinical care and counseling for couples considering ART.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved clinical practices and counseling for couples undergoing assisted reproductive technologies.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have explored ART outcomes, but this study's comprehensive approach to examining specific ART parameters in relation to adverse outcomes is relatively novel.
