Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cognitive development | 18 YEARS | Evaluation through a newly edited questionnaire according to milestones, set for age, established by CDC guidelines (Zubler et al, 2022). The objective is to compare cognitive development of children born by IVF of cryopreserved oocytes in comparison to expected peer development. Answers will be reported as yes/no according if milestones are achieved or not. |
| Communicative development | 18 YEARS | Evaluation through a newly edited questionnaire according to milestones, set for age, established by CDC guidelines (Zubler et al, 2022). The objective is to compare communicative development of children born by IVF of cryopreserved oocytes in comparison to expected peer development. Answers will be reported as yes/no according if milestones are achieved or not. |
| Motor development | 18 YEARS | Evaluation through a newly edited questionnaire according to milestones, set for age, established by CDC guidelines (Zubler et al, 2022). The objective is to compare motor development of children born by IVF of cryopreserved oocytes in comparison to expected peer development. Answers will be reported as yes/no according if milestones are achieved or not. |
| Emotional development | 18 YEARS | Evaluation through a newly edited questionnaire according to milestones, set for age, established by CDC guidelines (Zubler et al, 2022).
