Language development of children born following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) combined with assisted oocyte activation (AOA)

Abstract

This study presents the first data concerning language outcome in 3-10-year-old children born following AOA. General language scores of the AOA children in this study are located within the normal ranges. The language development of singletons was significantly better compared with twins. Although the results are reassuring for language development, in future long-term follow-up studies in this population are necessary.
