Intellectual development of children born to women with a history of recurrent miscarriages

Abstract

Recently, there have been many publications on the assessment of the health and development of children born after in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the families with fertility problems. The purpose of the investigation was to determine the level of intellectual development in the children born in the families with a history of miscarriage. The database consisted of 71 children born after lymphocy-totherapy in the families with reproductive losses. The children's intellectual development was evaluated by the method developed by D. Wechsler. The findings were compared with the testing data on 1,700 children of the same age in central Russia. According to the results obtained, the intellectual development of children born after lymphocytotherapy in the families with reproductive losses did not significantly differ from its population-based indicators. No association was found between the course of pregnancy and severe intelligence disorders in the examinees. The higher educational level of families with reproductive losses versus the population-based level can be inferred to be a factor for the better social adaptation of families who create better conditions for their children to develop.
