Abstract

This dissertation investigates the prevalence and nature of congenital challenges in newborns conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF), addressing the critical question of whether these children exhibit higher rates of congenital anomalies compared to their naturally conceived counterparts. Through a comprehensive analysis of data gathered from multiple clinical settings, this research reveals that while the overall incidence of congenital anomalies in IVF-conceived infants is not significantly elevated, specific conditions, particularly cardiac and renal anomalies, show a notable increase. Additionally, maternal health factors such as advanced maternal age, pre-existing health conditions, and specific IVF protocols were found to correlate with higher risks of congenital challenges. These findings hold significant implications for healthcare practices, suggesting the need for enhanced prenatal screening and tailored monitoring for high-risk pregnancies involving IVF to mitigate potential outcomes. The research underscores the importance of informed clinical decision-making and patient education surrounding IVF processes, offering insights that can guide healthcare professionals in counseling prospective parents about the risks and benefits associated with assisted reproductive technologies. Ultimately, this study contributes to a growing body of evidence that informs both clinical practice and public health policy, advocating for further research into the long-term health outcomes of IVF-conceived children to ensure optimal care and support.
