- Abstract
The article discusses the prevalence of low birth weight (LBW) in the United States and the report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the association of LBW and assisted reproductive technology (ART) during 1997-2004 in Massachusetts. The CDC and the Massachusetts Department of Health analyzed linked birth certificate and ART records. The results of the analysis showed that LBW had increased with ART contributing to the increase. The analysis, though, suggested more study was needed into other causes for LBW. An editor's note further clarifies the topic and presents strengths and limitations of the study.
