Abstract

【Objective】 To compare the psychomotor development at 24 months old in children born after assisted conception with a control group of children conceived naturally. 【Methods】 A mached control study was performed on the psychomotor development of 24 months old in children conceived with use of assisted reproductive technology.The control group was matched according to maternal age,parity,social class and level of maternal education.The suitable mothers were invited to participate at 28 weeks of gestation and were followed up to delivery.The children of two groups were followed up to 24 months old and a formal developmental assessment was done with the CDCC Scales of Children Development. 【Result】 No statistically significant differences were found in the mental development index (MDI) and psychomotor development index (PDI) between study and control groups,as asssessed by the CDCC Scales. 【Conclusion】 The level of psychomotor development at 24 months old in children born after assisted conception was normal.So the assisted reproductive technology is safety in china.
