Jane Halliday and her colleagues at Murdoch Children's Research Institute have just published the results of their cohort study, "Comparing indicators ofhealth and development of singleton young adults conceived with and without assisted reproductive technology" in the journal Fertility and Sterility. The results of the study showed "few adverse outcomes" in
the large cohort of young adults selected.
A good summary by the author was published in The Conversation recently. In "Rest assured IVF babies grow into healthy adults", Halliday discusses that this research fills a gap in the literature, which has previously only looked at the children up to early teens. She was also concerned that with the growing rate of ART, parents and health authorities need to be aware of any risks in later years.
