Abstract

The number of children conceived by assisted reproduction techniques (ART) is increasing in the Czech Republic. Several studies have highlighted the increased risk of various congenital anomalies in ART conceived children. The main goal of this study was to evaluate this theoretical risk using population-based data from Czech medial registries. The retrospective epidemiological analysis was performed using data from the National Registry of Congenital Anomalies and National Registry of Newborns. These registries are run by the Institute of Health Information and Statistics of the Czech Republic. The surveillance process is country-wide and compulsory by the law. All diagnoses of congenital anomalies (included in the XVII chapter of ICD-10 classification were included.
