Comparing the risk of asthma at 7 years among children conceived by assisted reproductive technologies with children of parents who tried to become pregnant for 12 months or were previously treated for unwanted childlessness in the MoBa
Exposure | N | N cases (%) | Unadjusted RR (95% CI) | Adjusted* RR (95% CI) |
Previously treated for unwanted childlessness | 4653 | 244 (5.2) | 1 | 1 |
Conceived by assisted reproductive technologies | 1391 | 85 (6.1) | 1.17 (0. 92 to 1.48) | 1.23 (0.95 to 1.58) |
Time to conception >12 months | 4964 | 262 (5.3) | 1 | 1 |
Conceived by assisted reproductive technologies | 1391 | 85 (6.1) | 1.16 (0.91 to 1.47) | 1.22 (0.95 to 1.57) |
*Adjusted for maternal age, parity, education, smoking during pregnancy, prepregnancy BMI and maternal current asthma.
