    Abstract:
    This project has been concerned with the comparison of children born as a result of fresh embryo transfer (IVF) with children conceived and born via the natural process. The former included children who were the single outcome of the birth (singletons) and children who were the result of a multiple birth (e.g. twins, triplets). A computer database was established into which was put 23 items of data on each child, making a total of 12,788 items overall. There were 278 "normally conceived" children (controls), 150 IVF Singletons, and 128 children from multiple births. The results show interesting differences in the gestational age at birth, the birth weight, the mode of delivery and the degrees of birth abnormalities and malformations.
