IVF News and Media Differ on Fertility Treatment Risks
UK newspapers, The Daily Mail and Guardian have both recently highlighted on the risks of Infertility treatments. While The Guardian gave an accurate and detailed report of the topic, the Daily Mail just gave us the bottom line, stating that IVF births have five times more risk of complications than normal births. The IVF news itself is essentially correct, but a relative risk does sound more frightening than it really is when said out of context, because in fact the risk of serious cases like stillbirth and neonatal death are in fact very much similar to normal births, as revealed in large study carried out in Australia.
