A comprehensive study of more than 400,000 children—with over 11,000 conceived via in-vitro fertilization (IVF)—has found no link between IVF conception and adverse developmental outcomes for school-age children.

Published on Jan. 24 in PLOS Medicine, the study involved collaboration between the three major IVF units in Victoria—Melbourne IVF, Monash IVF and City Fertility Centre, and incorporated data on over 400,000 children born between 2005 and 2013, 11,059 of whom were conceived via IVF.
