We sought to compare the effects of ART and SC on adverse neonatal outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We included 5,913 neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China between January 2017 and December 2020. There were 1,112 (18.8%) ART pregnancies and 4,801 (81.2%) SC pregnancies. Data on maternal characteristics, comorbidities during pregnancy, and neonatal outcomes were collected and analyzed. Logistic regression models estimated the odds ratios (ORs) and 99% CIs of neonatal outcomes according to ART pregnancy. Neonatal outcomes primarily included neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), neonatal anemia, birth defects, and mortality.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among 5,913 neonates, 485 (8.2%) had NRDS, 165 (2.8%) had BPD, 113 (1.9%) had ROP, 602 (10.2%) had neonatal anemia, and 1,112 (18.8%) were ART infants. The incidence of pregnancy-related complications, such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), gestational hypothyroidism, and rheumatic immune diseases, in mothers receiving ART, was higher than that in the SC group. On multivariate analysis, ART was independently associated with NRDS (OR = 1.46; 95% CI, 1.11\u20131.93; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.008) and ROP (OR = 1.79; 95% CI, 1.06\u20133.05; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.031). Moreover, the association persisted after adjustment for maternal age, history of cesarean section, preconception factors, and pregnancy complications. For BPD (OR = 1.44; 95% CI, 0.91\u20132.27; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.117) and neonatal anemia (OR = 1.12; 95% CI, 0.87\u20131.45; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.373), the associations were attenuated substantially when adjusting for pregnancy complications. ART was associated with neither birth defects (OR = 0.98; 95% CI, 0.77\u20131.25; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.889) nor mortality (OR = 0.98; 95% CI, 0.51\u20131.91; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.961).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>ART was independently associated with adverse neonatal outcomes, including NRDS and ROP.
