In Brief OBJECTIVE: To assess trends of tubal factor infertility and to evaluate risk miscarriage delivery preterm or low birth weight (LBW) neonates among women with using assisted reproductive technology (ART). METHODS: We assessed all fresh frozen, donor, nondonor ART cycles performed annually in the United States between 2000 2010 (N=1,418,774) National Surveillance System. The data set was then limited fresh, vitro fertilization resulting pregnancy compare perinatal outcomes for associated compared male infertility. bivariate multivariable analyses controlling maternal characteristics calculated adjusted ratios (RRs) 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS: percentage diagnoses decreased from (26.02–14.81%). Compared infertility, portended an increased (14.0% 12.7%, RR 1.08, CI 1.04–1.12); both early late miscarriage. Singleton born had (15.8% 11.6%, 1.27, 1.20–1.34) LBW (10.9% 8.5%, 1.28, 1.20–1.36). Significant increases persisted very moderately delivery. A significantly elevated also detected twin, but not triplet, pregnancies. CONCLUSION: Tubal which is decreasing prevalence States, miscarriage, birth, as couples ART. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II Women who use are at neonates.
