Because fertility treatment also increases the probability of multiple birth, it remains unclear whether the observed increase in congenital anomalies is attributable to treatment itself, multiple gestation, or underlying infertility.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Population-based cohort study of all live and stillbirths delivered \u226522 weeks\u2019 gestation from 2006 to 2021 among women with a history of infertility diagnosis in Ontario, Canada.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>PARTICIPANTS\/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data were obtained from administrative health records routinely collected within a universal healthcare system for epidemiological surveillance. Exposure was defined as (1) infertility without fertility treatment, (2) ovulation induction (OI) or IUI, and (3) IVF or ICSI. Congenital anomalies were categorized as (1) any anomaly, (2) organ system, and (3) specific anomalies. Modified Poisson regression models generated adjusted relative risks (aRR). For statistically significant aRR &amp;gt; 1, causal mediation was used to decompose the total effect into direct and mediated effects to estimate proportion mediated by multiple birth.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There were 274\u00a0893 births included in the cohort, of which 229\u00a0932 (83.6%) occurred among women with infertility who did not receive fertility treatment, 20\u00a0525 (7.5%) after OI\/IUI, and 24\u00a0536 (8.9%) after IVF\/ICSI. Multiple birth rates were 2.3%, 7.2%, and 13.3%, respectively. Compared with infertility without treatment, the aRR of any anomaly was 1.11 (95% CI 1.05\u20131.17) after OI\/IUI and 1.28 (95% CI 1.22\u20131.34) after IVF\/ICSI. Mediation analyses demonstrated that multiple birth accounted for only a minority of the excess risk, although the proportion mediated varied by anomaly type. The greatest mediation was observed for pulmonary artery stenosis, where multiple birth explained 33.9% of the association after OI\/IUI and 44.4% after IVF\/ICSI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>As with all studies using administrative health data, our findings are subject to potential misclassification of infertility status based on billing codes, particularly when consultations do not reflect a confirmed diagnosis, as well as residual confounding from unmeasured factors.\u2002<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study suggests that multiple birth explains only part of the increased risk of congenital anomalies observed after fertility treatment. While continued efforts to decrease multiple pregnancy remain important, future research should focus on disentangling the contribution of specific infertility diagnoses and treatment-related factors to the risk of congenital anomalies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>FUNDING<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study was funded by grant MFM-146444 from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Institute of Human Development, Child &amp; Youth Health, Clinician\u2014Investigator Teams in Obstetrics and Maternal-Fetal Medicine.
