Risk of Pulmonary and Venous Thromboembolism in Pregnancies After in Vitro Fertilization

NCT01524393 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 140458

Last updated 2012-02-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Occurrence of venous thromboembolism during in Vitro Fertilization (IVF) pregnancies has been reported in numerous case reports and in two small consecutive series. The incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after IVF has been claimed to be comparable to the incidence of VTE during normal pregnancy. No information exists concerning pulmonary embolism (PE).

The aim is to estimate and compare the risk of both PE and VTE during the the different phases of pregnancy after IVF to that in age and period matched control women. The investigators will use the Swedish National Health Registers to estimate the risk.
