Factors affecting development of children conceived through assisted reproductive technology: a literature review
Abstract
In the article the results of research on physiological and psychological factors of psychophysical development of children conceived with the help of assisted reproductive technologies (IVF, ICSI) are summarized. The groups of physiological (mother’s age and state of health; smoking and alcohol consumption; multiple pregnancy; prematurity; ART procedures) and psychological (mental and psychological health of parents, child-parental and marital relations) factors were identified. The contradictions in the available data are highlighted, indicating the need for complex longitudinal studies.
