Abstract
These analyses indicate that, compared with fertile women, subfertile and in vitro fertilization-treated women tend to be older, have more preexisting chronic conditions, and are at higher risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes, particularly uterine bleeding and placental complications. The greater risk in in vitro fertilization-treated women may reflect more severe infertility, more extensive underlying pathology, or other unfavorable factors not measured in this study.
