Objective: To analyze the incidence of birth defects, medical outcome and somatic development in children conceived after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Design: Prospective open cross-sectional clinical study.
Setting: University hospital and private IVF unit.
Objective: To analyze the type of infertility, pregnancy and neonatal outcome in children conceived after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI children).
Design: Prospective open cross-sectional clinical study.
Setting: University hospital and private IVF unit.
Objective: To analyze parental attitudes and socio-emotional development of children conceived by ICSI.
Design: Open cross-sectional study.
Setting: Department of Clinical Psychology, Thomayer University Hospital, Prague and Department of Paediatrics, Charles University, 2nd Medical School, University Hospital-Motol, Prague.
Objective: To analyse data on psychomotor and cognitive development of children born after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Design: Open cross-section clinical study.
Setting: Institute for the Care of Mother and Child, Prague and Department of Paediatrics, Charles University, 2nd Medical School and University Hospital Motol, Prague.
Objective: The following questions were investigated: 1) the psychomotor development in newborns with pathological cardiotocographic recording (CTG), having been born spontaneously due to a normal oxygen saturation monitored by intrapartum pulse oxymetry (IFPO)(group I), 2) possible difference in development of children in group I in comparison with those with pathological CTG without IFPO monitoring delivered by cesarean section (group II), 3) possible differences in children in these two groups with signs of intrapartum hypoxia (groups I and II, respectively) from children delivered spontaneously during physiological delivery without signs of hypoxia (group III).
Design: A prospective clinical study
Setting: Institute for the Care of Mother and Child
Methods: There have been 88 children born in the years 2000-2001 from singleton pregnancies in gestational ages > 36 weeks. Three groups of children were established: 1) in the group I (IFPO, n=32) there were children born spontaneously having pathological CTG detected by cardiotocograph HP50A and simultaneously monitored by intrapartum fetal pulse oxymeter NELLCOR Puritan Benett A400 with the NELLCOR FE 14 sensor with normal values of oxygen saturation.
