Introduction

Since the first successful “test-tube baby” born in 1978, there are about 4 million people born by in-vitro fertilization (IVF) techniques globally. With the development of assistant reproductive techniques (ART), people start to put more consideration on the negative effects of IVF complications in both mother and the baby, while pursuing the pregnancy rate increasing. The most representative high-risk factors of ART should be the multiple pregnancy and ovary hyper-stimulation syndrome (OHSS).
