Tóm tắt

The pregnancy details, delivery outcome, and developmental status as measured on the Griffiths Developmental Scales are provided on the first 20 infants reaching their first birthday following in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) within the PIVET Programme. An increased rate of preterm delivery. intrauterine growth retardation, and cesarean sections was noted. One significant and two minor abnormalities were detected and only one infant was slightly under the expected developmental assessment at 1 year on the corrected general quotient of the Griffiths Developmental Scales for children.
