The implications of male infertility and ICSI for the neurodevelopmental health of offspring remain unknown.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n To analyze the risks of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring of couples with male or female infertility with or without ICSI use.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Design, Setting, and Participants<\/jats:title>\n This cohort study was conducted in Taiwan and used information collected from the national population registry data set, national birth data set, and national ART data set for all live singleton births from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2016. The follow-up period started from the date of birth until the diagnosis of a disorder or December 31, 2018, whichever occurred first. Data were analyzed from July 1, 2021, to August 1, 2022.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Exposures<\/jats:title>\n Male or female infertility with or without ICSI.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>\n The outcome was the incidence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit\/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and developmental delay in offspring with ART conception. Taiwan\u2019s national population registry data set was used to identify ASD, ADHD, and developmental delay diagnosed in outpatient clinic and hospitalization records.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n The study included 1\u202f575\u202f971 singleton births (mean [SD] age, 5.87\u2009[2.60] years; 819\u202f389 boys [52.0%]), of whom 1\u202f568\u202f257 (99.5%) had natural conception, 2111 (0.1%) had ART conception with male infertility, and 5603 (0.4%) had ART conception with female infertility. The risks of ASD (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.61-3.84;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001) and developmental delay (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.54-2.39;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001) in offspring with ART conception and ICSI use were significantly higher than those in offspring with natural conception. The same results were found in offspring of couples with either male or female infertility and ICSI intervention.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>\n Results of this study suggest that male infertility was not associated with an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring. In both male and female infertility groups, ICSI had unfavorable implications for the neurodevelopmental health of offspring in terms of increased risks of ASD and developmental delay.<\/jats:p>\n
