Methods:Twenty-four ART children born after MPR were compared to 9 triplets without MPR,and 24 matched IVF children without MPR and 24 naturally conceived.Mental and psychological development was assessed by Bayley Scales.of Infant.The outcomes compared included perinatal characteristics,body mass index(BMI), mental development index(MDI) and psychomotor development index(PDI). Results:MPR singletons/twins had better neonatal outcomes than non-MPR triplets.Moreover,PDI of the MPR singletons/twins was significantly higher than that of the non-MPR triplets.There were no significantly difference in perinatal characteristics,BMI,MDI and PDI among 24 MPR children,24 matched IVF children without MPR and 24 matched naturally conceived children. Conclusion:Multifetal pregnancy reduction could improve perinatal outcomes and would not affect physical, mental and psychomotor development for children born after it.展开更多
