Brief Summary

The investigators conduct a long-term follow-up at five years on offspring born from our randomized controlled trial (RCT) to investigate whether or not there is any difference in developmental outcomes in children born after capacitation IVM (CAPA IVM) compared with conventional IVF in order to give strong evidence about the safety of IVM in women with high antral follicle count.

Detailed Description

The safety of the CAPA-IVM has also been proven by publications about the development of children born from this technique.

Data monitoring the physical, mental, and motor development of children born from the CAPA-IVM versus children born from the conventional IVF after 2 years under using the ASQ-3 tools and red flags showed that there were no significant differences in ASQ-3 scores at 6, 12 and 24 months between children born after IVM or IVF. The proportion of children with developmental red flags was low and did not differ between the two groups. Slightly, but significantly, lower ASQ-3 problem-solving and personal-social scores in twins from the IVM versus IVF group at 6 months were still within the normal range and had caught up to the IVF group in the 12- and 24-month assessments.

However, another question raised is whether there is a difference in the development of children born from CAPA-IVM compared to conventional IVF after a longer follow-up period. Does the development between the two groups have a clinically significant difference? Based on these questions, we decided to conduct an assessment of the physical, behavioural, mental, and motor development of children born from CAPA-IVM and conventional IVF up to 5 years after birth.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Normal ASQ-3 score rate.Up to 5 years after birth

A normal ASQ-3 score is the child's total score for each area above the cutoff. ASQ-3 (Ages and Stages Questionaires®) has 5 aspects: Communication, Gross motor, Fine motor, Problem solving, and Personal-Social Each aspect has 6 questions, if the answer is Yes, score = 10, Sometimes = 5 and Not yet = 0. ASQ-3 score = total area scores.

Normal weight rateUp to 5 years after birth

Normal weight is a BMI greater than or equal to -2 standard deviations and less than or equal to 1 standard deviation of the WHO growth reference median.

Normal SDQ score rate.Up to 5 years after birth

Normal SDQ score is defined as the total score of each area out of the abnormal range for each one.

Abnormal range for each area is described as below:

1. emotional symptoms: from 5 to 10

2. conduct problems: from 4 to 10

3. hyperactivity/inattention: from 7 to 10

4. peer relationship problems: from 4 to 10

5. prosocial behaviour: from 0 to 4

6. The total difficulties score: from 17 to 40

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Score of Gross motor (ASQ-3 questionnaire)Up to 5 years after birth

6 questions, if the answer is Yes, score = 10, Sometimes = 5 and Not yet = 0. Total score will be used: minimum = 0 and maximum = 60. Each aspect in each stage has an alternative threshold.

Overweight rateUp to 5 years after birth

Overweight is a BMI greater than 1 standard deviations above the WHO growth reference median.

Score of Communication (ASQ-3 questionnaire)Up to 5 years after birth

6 questions, if the answer is Yes, score = 10, Sometimes = 5 and Not yet = 0. Total score will be used: minimum = 0 and maximum = 60. Each aspect in each stage has an alternative threshold.

Score of Fine motor (ASQ-3 questionnaire)Up to 5 years after birth

6 questions, if the answer is Yes, score = 10, Sometimes = 5 and Not yet = 0. Total score will be used: minimum = 0 and maximum = 60. Each aspect in each stage has an alternative threshold.

Score of Conduct problems (SDQ questionnaire)Up to 5 years after birth

5 questions, if the answer is Not True, score = 0, Somewhat True = 1 and Certianly True = 2.

This area has a question: "Generally well behaved, usually does what adults request." It needs to change the score to Not True, score = 2, Somewhat True = 1, and Certainly True = 0.

Normal SDQ score is defined as the total score of each area out of the abnormal range for each one.

Abnormal range for Conduct problems is from 4 to 10.

Thinness rateUp to 5 years after birth

Thinness is a BMI less than -2 standard deviations below the WHO growth reference median.

Score of Emotional symptoms (SDQ questionnaire)Up to 5 years after birth

5 questions, if the answer is Not True, score = 0, Somewhat True = 1 and Certianly True = 2.

Normal SDQ score is defined as the total score of each area out of the abnormal range for each one.

The abnormal range for Emotional symptoms is from 5 to 10.

The total difficulties score.Up to 5 years after birth

The total difficulties score is generated by adding the score of emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity/inattention and peer relationship problems together.

The abnormal range for the total difficulties score is from 17 to 40.

Obesity rateUp to 5 years after birth

Obesity is a weight greater than 2 standard deviations above the WHO growth reference median.

Score of Problem solving (ASQ-3 questionnaire)Up to 5 years after birth

Score of hyperactivity/inattention (SDQ questionnaire)Up to 5 years after birth

5 questions, if the answer is Not True, score = 0, Somewhat True = 1 and Certianly True = 2.

This area has two questions: "Thinks things out before acting" and "Good attention span, sees work through to the end." They need to change the score to Not True, score = 2, Somewhat True = 1, and Certainly True = 0.

Normal SDQ score is defined as the total score of each area out of the abnormal range for each one.
