Implication

Retrospective cohort study evaluating obstetric outcomes in ART versus non-ART singleton pregnancies, suggesting varied morbidity profiles.

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate obstetric outcomes for singleton pregnancies conceived via assisted reproductive technology compared to those conceived naturally.
Retrospective population-based cohort study using CDC WONDER Natality files (2016–2019).
Identified U.S. singleton births conceived with and without ART.
Outcomes compared included preterm birth, hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes mellitus, and cesarean delivery rates.
ART-conceived pregnancies had higher cesarean delivery rates (~48% vs 38–39%; absolute difference ~9–10 percentage points; p<0.001).
Preterm birth rates were modestly higher in ART singleton pregnancies (p<0.001).
Hypertensive disorders and gestational diabetes rates were similar in both groups (p>0.05).
