This study aimed to investigate maternal and neonatal outcomes in singleton pregnancies among women aged \u226545\u2009years, with a specific focus on ART conception and oocyte source.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Material and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This multicenter retrospective cohort study included women aged \u226545\u2009years with singleton pregnancies delivered \u226522\u2009weeks' gestation between 2016 and 2022 across five Italian academic hospitals. Pregnancies were categorized by mode of conception (spontaneous conception [SC] vs. ART), and ART pregnancies were further stratified by oocyte origin (homologous [ART\u2010HO] vs. heterologous [ART\u2010HE]). Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate associations between mode of conception and obstetric outcomes, adjusting for key confounders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 557 included pregnancies, 495 (88.9%) involved women aged 45\u201349\u2009years, and 62 (11.1%) women aged \u226550.
