title: Growth and development of infants conceived by in vitro fertilization: a preliminary report.
abstract: This is a preliminary report on the first 24 babies born during the period of 1 year follow-up after IVF-ET in Chulalongkorn Hospital. Based on this study, our data suggests that these children have a normal range of growth and development. There was also no evidence of major congenital anomalies identified in spite of some minor ones. However, a need for more detail and on-going long-term follow-up at least until school age is being planned.
