Cerebral palsy in children born after in vitro fertilization. Is the risk decreasing?
Infants born after in vitro fertilization (IVF) differ from spontaneously conceived infants in a number of aspects which could increase the risk for future cerebral palsy (CP), e.g., multiple births, preterm births, neonatal complications. ⋯ The moderately increased risk for CP was most likely a consequence of an increased risk of neonatal morbidity, notably associated with multiple births.
