The PGWB and SOC scores. <jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic> After adjustment for seven confounders, the adoption group had higher PGWB scores than the unsuccessful IVF\u2013living without children and the controls and higher SOC scores than all other groups. The unsuccessful IVF\u2013living without children had lower PGWB and SOC scores than all other groups. The PGWB and SOC scores among controls did not differ from those with successful IVF or unsuccessful IVF\u2013living with children. <jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> Adjusted PGWB and SOC scores revealed a high quality of life in the adoption group. However, the group unsuccessful IVF\u2013living without children had low quality of life scores. Quality of life appears to be independent of the outcome of IVF treatment as long as there are children in the family.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0412.2012.01491.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,18]],"date-time":"2012-06-18T19:36:19Z","timestamp":1340048179000},"page":"1077-1085","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Quality of life after adopting compared with childbirth with or without assisted reproduction"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"91","author":[{"given":"LARS","family":"HOGSTR\u00d6M","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MARIANNE","family":"JOHANSSON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"PER OLOF","family":"JANSON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MARIE","family":"BERG","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JYNFIAF","family":"FRANCIS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JAN","family":"SOGN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ANNA\u2010LENA","family":"HELLSTR\u00d6M","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ANNSOFIE","family":"ADOLFSSON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00016340802705956"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016341003657892"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/17.12.3242"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_2","unstructured":"SOSFS 2006:10 (M).
