Journal Title: Obstetrics Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Objectives: To determine if there is any observable effect of pre implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) on obstetrical outcome and perinatal morbidity and mortality, birth defects, neonatal outcome in addition, finding the rate of misdiagnosis. Setting: King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center (Reproductive Medicine & Perinatology Sections) at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Design: A retrospective chart review of PGD patients from Jan 2001- Dec 2009. Materials and Methods: A total of 70 PGD pregnancies and 70 matching spontaneously conceived pregnancies were reviewed. The main outcome measures were rate of multiple pregnancies, gestational age (GA) at delivery, mode of delivery, sex, apgar score (A/S), birth weight, presence of birth defects, misdiagnosis and perinatal and neonatal mortalities. Results: Data were collected from 79 children born after PGD and compared to 72 children born after spontaneous pregnancies. PGD group had significantly more multiple pregnancies. However, there was no statistically significant difference between other outcomes in terms of: birth weight, GA at delivery, sex distribution, perinatal mortality and presence of congenital malformations. The misdiagnosis rate was 1.4%. Conclusion: PGD does not add risk factors to the health of babies born after the procedure. The perinatal death rate and rate of congenital malformations were not higher for PGD group in this study.
