Background It is not known whether infants conceived with useof intracytoplasmic sperm injection or in vitro fertilizationhave a higher risk of birth defects than infants conceived naturally.
Methods We obtained data from three registries in Western Australiaon births, births after assisted conception, and major birthdefects in infants born between 1993 and 1997. We assessed theprevalence of major birth defects diagnosed by one year of agein infants conceived naturally or with use of intracytoplasmicsperm injection or in vitro fertilization.
