[Pregnancy and labor after insemination with frozen sperm from a donor].
A total of 168 out of 196 pregnancies that were obtained after A.I.D. have been followed up. Six cases were lost for follow-up (3%). The mean age was 30 years and 65% of the women had their ovulation induced. 130 nullipara were delivered. They were compared with a series of nullipara of the same age group and selected from 300 primiparous pregnancies who delivered in the department in the same year. The abortion rate was 12.5%. 79% of the pregnancies were normal in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters as compared with 83% in the control series. 94% delivered at term as compared with 97% in the control series. 21% of the women had Caesarean section as compared with 19.2% in the control series. The sex ratio was 1.08 as compared with 1.06 in the control series. There was no significant difference between the two series. It does seem, however, that the age factor is the most important factor of all in determining how frequent pathological conditions will be and the number of Caesareans that will have to be carried out. 14% were under 30 years of age as compared with 28.5% who were over 30 years of age, which is a significant difference. These results should be followed up in a larger series.
