According to a recent study, children conceived within 6 months of maternal hysterosalpingography (HSG) had lower average IQ, information processing, and attention control scores than children conceived without fertility treatment.
These findings suggest a possible association between conception soon after HSG and neurodevelopmental outcomes, warranting further investigation.
The study was published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism by Sarai M. and colleagues.
Also, the statistical team analyzed timing subgroups considering the number of weeks from the maternal HSG procedure to conception (less than four weeks, four to twelve weeks, and more than twelve weeks after HSG) by polynomial contrasts.
Key findings:The subsequent evaluation of the neurodevelopmental outcome was able to assess 69 children who were born 6 months after the maternal HSG and 44 children in the unexposed control group.
