Abstract

To evaluate the obstetrical outcome of pregnancies obtained after assisted reproductive technology (ART).in women with unexplained infertility.We conducted a retrospective observational case - control cohort study between January 2011 and May 2017. All pregnancies obtained after ART (Intra uterine insemination, In Vitro Fertilization, Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) were included. The ART pregnancy outcome of women with unexplained infertility was compared to ART pregnancies obtained in a context of male infertility. Cases were matched to controls (1:2) for age, Body Mass Index (BMI), and smoking status.After exclusion of twins, we studied 67 singleton pregnancies in the case group, matched with 129 singleton pregnancies in the control group. The first-trimester complications (miscarriage before 12 weeks gestation (WG), ectopic pregnancy) were similar in the two groups. Concerning the 2 and the 3rd trimester, the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus, pre-eclampsia, placenta previa, preterm labor was comparable between the two groups. In singletons, we found a non-significant increase of post-partum hemorrhage (OR = 5.5, IC 0.5-50, p = 0.13) and small for gestational age new-borns (OR=3.45, IC 0.65-18.1, p = 0.14) in women with unexplained infertility.More adverse obstetrical outcome are commonly reported after ART, even in singleton pregnancies. Little is known for explaining it and to distingue the own contributions of ART techniques and of the infertility etiology. In our study, we didn't observe a significant negative impact of a history of unexplained infertility on pregnancy. However, further large studies are needed to evaluate more accurately the possible responsibility of the infertility etiology on obstetrical and perinatal outcome.
