Abstract

Over the past 40 years access and effectiveness of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have increased, and to date more than 8 million children have been conceived after ART globally. Most pregnancies resulting from ART are uncomplicated and result in the birth of healthy children. Yet, it is well known that pregnancies following ART are more likely to be affected by obstetric complications such as hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, preterm birth, and low birth weight compared with spontaneously conceived pregnancies. ART children are also at increased risk of birth defects. The majority of the problems arise as a result of multiple pregnancies and can be reduced by transferring a single embryo, thereby avoiding multiple pregnancies. New ART technologies are constantly introduced, and monitoring of the health of ART children is crucial.

摘要

在过去的40年中，辅助生殖技术（ART）的使用和有效性不断提高，迄今为止，全球已有800万儿童受孕。大多数由ART引起的怀孕并不复杂，可导致健康儿童的出生。然而，众所周知，与自然怀孕相比，ART术后的妊娠更容易受到诸如妊娠高血压疾病，早产和低出生体重等产科并发症的影响。ART儿童的出生缺陷风险也增加。大多数问题是由于多次怀孕而产生的，可以通过转移单个胚胎来减少问题，从而避免多次怀孕。不断引入新的抗逆转录病毒技术，监测抗逆转录病毒疗法儿童的健康至关重要。
