Pregnancy and neonatal outcomes of assisted pregnancies in a low-middle income country in South Asia

Gestational diabetes and urinary tract infections were more frequent in assisted pregnancies. Neonates born following assisted pregnancies reported significant morbidity and mortality compared to spontaneous conceptions.
