To identify pregestational maternal characteristics that are associated with an increased risk for preterm births (PTB) of assisted reproductive technology (ART) singleton pregnancies. We evaluated the Slovenian National Perinatal Information System (NPIS). We included all ART singletons born during the period 2006-2015. We compared births before a...
