PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of new legislation for assisted reproductive technology (ART) restricting the number of transferred embryos on neonatal prognosis of @entity1 born after @entity249 treatments. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Neonatal records of all live born @entity1 in Ege University Maternity Ward were reviewed for 2006 and 2012. Neonatal outcome measures such as birth weight (BW), gestational age (GA), preterm birth (PTB), very low birth weight (VLBW), and @entity4837 ( @entity4837 ) admission were evaluated. RESULTS: Compared to 2006 percentage of newborns conceived by medically assisted reproduction (MAR) decreased from 14.6% to 5% in all live births, from 23.8% to 8.2% in @entity4837 @entity1 in 2012. The number of fetuses in the last pregnancy, frequency of intrauterine reductions, spontaneous pregnancy losses, antenatal @entity548 , and @entity3465 decreased. Percentage of multiples among MAR newborns (31.7% vs. 55.7%), twins from 51.4% to 30.9%, triplets from 4.3% to 0.8% all decreased significantly. Mean BW and gestational age increased resulting in decreased frequency of PTB and VLBW. Consequently Level 3 @entity4837 admission rate significantly decreased from 44.3% to 22%. CONCLUSION: The new ART legislation in @entity233 resulted in decreased rate of multiple births, prematurity and related complications, and @entity4837 admissions in MAR newborns. However the twin rates are still high. Since uncontrolled ovulation stimulation and intrauterine insemination techniques are also associated with multiple births and unfavorable neonatal outcomes, these procedures deserve close monitorization.
