| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
ART have been employed for couples having difficulty conceiving. Previous studies indicated that ART result in the increased rates of the following conditions: multiple pregnancy, preterm delivery, and congenital anomalies. We attempt to determine the impact of ART on NICU practice. We retrieved all data of infants admitted to JMU Hospital NICU for 3 years,then assessed the clinical features and various morbidities of infants. Infants from ART were approximately 20% of all admissions. Although ART-related multiple births were reduced, 40% of all infants from ART were twins/triplets. And many of the ART-infants needed mechanical ventilation, but there was no statistically significant difference. It has been pointed out that one of the causes of anomalies in ART-infants is that micro changes such as deletion and duplication of chromosomes. We performed genetic searches on the infants with birth defects, but there was no specific accumulation.
