Previous studies have suggested that babies conceived through blastocyst transfer are at increased risk of preterm birth and LGA.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION<\/jats:title>A national population-based retrospective cohort study was performed using linked Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) data on 130\u200a516 IVF and ICSI livebirths occurring from 103\u200a062 women between 2000 and 2017.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>PARTICIPANTS\/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS<\/jats:title>We included women who had at least one singleton livebirth resulting from IVF\/ICSI fresh embryo treatment, using their own eggs and partner\u2019s sperm. A linked HFEA dataset was analysed using a multilevel framework, which accommodated repeated IVF cycles resulting in livebirths in the same woman. A population-averaged robust Poisson model was used for binary outcomes and a multinomial logistic regression model was used for categorical outcomes. Unadjusted and adjusted risk ratios (aRRs) (95% CI) were calculated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE<\/jats:title>There were 130\u200a516 livebirths in 103\u200a062 women, including 86\u200a630 singletons, 43\u200a886 twin births, and 5384 pairs of singleton siblings. In comparison with fresh cleavage stage ET, fresh blastocyst stage transfer in singletons was associated with a lower risk of low birthweight (aRR\u2009=\u20090.92; 95% CI 0.86, 0.99), lower risk of being SGA (0.83; 0.78, 0.89), and lower risk of congenital anomaly (0.79; 0.71, 0.89). This analysis did not show an increase in risk associated with preterm birth (1.00; 0.94, 1.06), high birthweight (0.99; 0.93, 1.06), LGA (0.99; 0.93, 1.05), and the chance of healthy singleton baby (1.00; 1.00, 1.02). Twins resulting from fresh blastocyst stage ET were at slightly higher risk of preterm birth (1.05; 1.02, 1.10) compared with twins conceived following fresh cleavage stage ET. There was insufficient evidence for an association with the other perinatal outcomes. Singleton siblings born following fresh blastocyst stage ET were at a higher risk of being LGA (1.57; 1.01, 2.46) and at lower risk of having a congenital anomaly (0.52; 0.28, 0.97) compared to their singleton siblings born following cleavage stage ET. There was some evidence of excess risk of preterm birth (1.42; 0.97, 2.23) associated with blastocyst stage transfer. However, we could not confirm an association between blastocyst stage ET and low birthweight (1.35; 0.81, 2.27), high birthweight (1.19; 0.80, 1.77), and the chance of being a healthy baby (0.97; 0.86, 1.09).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION<\/jats:title>This was an observational study where we were unable to adjust for some key confounders, such as maternal smoking status and BMI, which may change from one pregnancy to another and are not recorded in the HFEA dataset.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS<\/jats:title>In the largest study of its kind, our analysis of singleton siblings, corrected for unmeasured, non-time varying maternal factors, confirms the previously reported association between blastocyst transfer and LGA babies, and shows a reduced risk of congenital anomaly following blastocyst transfer. Our sibling analysis did not confirm a decreased risk of low birthweight following blastocyst transfer. Overall, absolute risks are low and there is insufficient evidence to challenge the practice of extended culture of embryos.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>STUDY FUNDING\/COMPETING INTEREST(S)<\/jats:title>This project is financed by an NHS Grampian Endowment Research Grant, project number 17\/052.
