Objective

To explore the changing trend of assisted reproductive technology (ART) conceptions and adverse pregnancy outcomes among the live birth population in Beijing from 2015-2021.

Methods

The monitoring data of Beijing Maternal and Child Health Network Information System (BMCHINS) from 2015 to 2021 were extracted, and the trends of adverse pregnancy outcomes such as premature birth, low birth weight, full-term small baby and other risk factors of adverse outcomes of live births (hereinafter referred to as ART mothers) conceived by ART during these seven years were analyzed retrospectively. The study was conducted in accordance with World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki revised in 2013.

Results

① From 2015 to 2021, a total of 43 485 ART live births and 36 056 ART mothers were monitored by BMCHINS. During these seven years, the proportion of ART live-born children and their mothers increased, and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=9 292.59, 8 750.12; P<0.001). ② The proportions of ART older pregnant women aged ≥35 years and ≥40 years were 36.3% (13 085/36 056) and 6.5% (2 340/36 056), respectively, which were significantly higher than those among all mothers [16.1% (224 295/1 389 457) and 2.0% (27 983/1 389 457)], with statistically significant differences (χ2=10 279.08, 3 381.89; P<0.001). The difference was statistically significant when comparing the increasing trend of ART conception rate among older mothers aged ≥35 years and ≥40 years (χ2=1 954.96, 317.91; P<0.001). ③ The rate of multiple births among ART live births was 34.3% (14 913/43 485), which was significantly higher than 3.1% of all live births (44 106/1 411 926), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=105 349.58, P<0.001). The increasing trend in the rate of ART births among multiple live births over 7 years was compared with a statistically significant (χ2=1 542.36, P<0.001). ④ The preterm birth rates among ART live births at gestational age<37 weeks and <32 weeks were 20.6% (8 967/43 485) and 2.7% (1 153/43 485), respectively, which were significantly higher than those of all live births at 6.1% (85 481/1 411 926) and 0.6% (8 274/1 411 926), and both differences were statistically significant (χ2=14 750.94, 2 796.68, P<0.001). The difference was statistically significant when comparing the upward trend in the rate of ART births among preterm live births over 7 years, respectively (χ2=926.96, 74.16, P<0.001). ⑤The difference was statistically significant when comparing the increasing trend of conception rate via ART among those with birth weight <2 500 g and <1 500 g over 7 years (χ2=804.68, 66.79, P<0.001).

Conclusions

The contribution of ART to the live birth population in Beijing is increasing year by year, and the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight among ART live births is increasing. Reducing the rate of ART multiple births is an effective measure to reduce the incidence of preterm birth and low birth weight.
