Keywords: Maternal Outcomes, Pregnancy, Infertility, In vitro Fertilization
Background: This study aimed to investigate maternal outcomes of pregnancy after in vitro fertilization (IVF) in primigravida women admitted to 3 different hospitals in Tehran.
Materials and Methods:This study is a retrospective cross sectional analytical study to evaluate and compare the maternal outcomes (preeclampsia, multiple pregnancy, diabetes, pregnancy, delivery mode, preterm delivery) among 620 pregnant women in three hospitals: Shahid Akbar Abadi (310 samples), Arash (155 samples) and Baharloo (155 samples).
Chi-square, Fisher's exact test, t student and Mann - Whitney was used.
Results: The mean and standard deviation of age was 25.3 ± 4.56 and 29.8 ± 5.31 in spontaneous pregnancy and IVF groups respectively. There was significant differences between two groups regarding to preeclampsia (P=0.003), gestational diabetes (P=0.012), multiple pregnancies (P<0.0001), Cesarean delivery (P<0.0001) and preterm delivery (P<0.0001). After adjustment of confounding variable (age) preeclampsia and gestational diabetes showed significant difference between two groups.
Conclusion: Since pregnancies after IVF showed some negative maternal outcomes, special attention is necessary for these women in their pregnancy.
