Maternal outcomes (gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, cesarean birth, maternal morbidity) and neonatal outcomes (preterm birth, low birth weight, neonatal intensive care, and congenital anomalies) were compared for singleton and multifetal births separately.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Among 173,399 births, 13.6% had infertility treatment (10.9% ART, 2.4% IUI). As compared to people who identified as white or Asian, infertility treatment was over one-third less likely for non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic individuals and 2.4 times more likely for those with a graduate degree as compared to those with less than high school. Infertility treatment was associated with significantly higher rates of all adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, and among multifetal births, ART was associated with a higher rate of maternal morbidity and more frequent gestational diabetes.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions for Practice<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Disparities in infertility treatment exist.
