Risk of ischemic placental disease is increased following in vitro fertilization with oocyte donation: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:Assess the risk of ischemic placental disease (IPD) among in vitro fertilization (IVF; donor and autologous) pregnancies compared with non-IVF pregnancies. METHODS:This was a retrospective cohort study of deliveries from 2000 to 2015 at a tertiary hospital. The exposures, donor, and autologous IVF, were compared with non-IVF pregnancies and donor IVF pregnancies were also compared with autologous IVF pregnancies. The outcome was IPD (preeclampsia, placental abruption, small for gestational age (SGA), or intrauterine fetal demise due to placental insufficiency). We defined SGA as birthweight
