Key Points Question What is the absolute risk of adverse obstetric outcomes stratified by in vitro fertilization (IVF), twin or singleton pregnancy, and maternal age? Findings In this cohort study of 16 879 728 pregnant women, the twin pregnancy rate was 32.1% among those who conceived via IVF. Twin pregnancies conceived via IVF had higher absolute obstetric risks in each maternal age compared with IVF-conceived singleton pregnancies or non–IVF-conceived twin pregnancies. Meaning These findings suggest that twin pregnancy, IVF, and advanced maternal age are independently associated with adverse obstetric outcomes, and their coexistence may lead to the aggravation of obstetric risk.
