Abstract

The article presents a study which investigates the relation of assisted reproductive technology (ART) with the risk of placenta-mediated pregnancy complications including preeclampsia, placental abruption and stillbirth. Participants include about 2,118 who were exposed to different types of ART including vitro fertilization, while about 8,420 conceived naturally. It was found out that ART is not related to the increased risk of placenta-mediated pregnancy complications on singleton pregnancies.
