Temporal trends in multiple births after in vitro fertilisation in Sweden, 1982-2001: a register study.
(2005) In BMJ 331(7513). p.382-383- Abstract
- During the 20 years since the first child was born in Sweden after
in vitro fertilisation, clinical policy has changed. During the early
1990s, the clinics performing in vitro fertilisation and the
National Board of Health and Welfare agreed to reduce the
number of embryos transferred to the uterus during in vitro fertilisation
from three to two. Here, we describe the changes in
multiple birth rates that have resulted from this change and their
impact on the rate of preterm birth. In future papers we intend
to describe maternal and child characteristics in greater detail.
