Single-centre comparative study of in vitro fertilisation and naturally conceived babies in Indonesia.

Background: In vitro fertilisation (IVF) offers a solution for infertility but poses increased obstetrical and perinatal risks, including higher rates of preterm birth, low birth weight and congenital anomalies. Particularly, IVF-related multiple pregnancies face significantly higher risks for preterm birth and prolonged hospital stays. This study compares neonatal outcomes between IVF and natural conception, as well as between singleton and IVF-related multiple pregnancies over the past decade.
