Evaluation criteria and usage recommendations for pregnancy risk levels in assisted reproductive technology
Assisted reproductive technology(ART)is a medical procedure that involves manual manipulation of gametes,zygotes,and embryos to achieve successful pregnancy.In order to enhance the management of medical quality and safety during ART treatment as well as patient prognosis,the Expert Group for Beijing Human Assisted Reproductive Technology Center for Quality Control and Improvement collaborated with the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China to establish standardized guidelines for Maternal Pregnancy Risk Assessment and Management.These guidelines employ a five-color ball system to evaluate maternal pregnancy risk levels among patients undergoing ART therapy,accompanied by recommendations on their implementation.The method aims to screen,evaluate,and manage pregnancy-related risks in women undergoing assisted reproductive treatment,while promptly identify and address risk factors,prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes,and ensure the safety of both mother and infant.
