The use of donor sperm is increasing, yet limited information is available about the health and development of children conceived from donor sperm. This retrospective descriptive study aimed to assess health and development in a cohort of school-aged children who were conceived using donor sperm. Participants included 224 children, aged 5-11 years, who were conceived using donor sperm. Participants' mothers completed a questionnaire comprising validated scales examining their child's current and past physical, psychosocial and mental health, healthcare needs and child development, as well as the mothers' health and wellbeing. At the conclusion of the study, the response rate was 296 out of 407 (72.7%), with a participation rate of 224 out o 407 (55.0%). Compared with the normative Australian population, sperm donor-conceived children had similar physical, psychosocial and mental health and development. A modest increase in healthcare needs was evident. The study concludes that in school-aged children conceived using donor sperm, most aspects of child health and wellbeing are similar to the general population.
使用捐赠精子的情况越来越多，但关于使用捐赠精子受孕的儿童的健康和发育情况的信息有限。本回顾性描述性研究旨在评估使用捐赠精子受孕的学龄儿童的健康和发育情况。参与者包括 224 名年龄在 5-11 岁之间的使用捐赠精子受孕的儿童。参与者的母亲完成了一份问卷，其中包括经过验证的量表，用于检查孩子目前和过去的身体、心理社会和心理健康、医疗需求以及儿童发育情况，以及母亲的健康和幸福。研究结束时，407 名参与者中有 296 名（72.7%）做出了回应，而在 407 名参与者中有 224 名（55.0%）参与了研究。与澳大利亚的正常人群相比，捐赠精子受孕的儿童在身体、心理社会和心理健康和发育方面相似。明显需要增加一些医疗保健。研究得出的结论是，在使用捐赠精子受孕的学龄儿童中，大多数儿童的健康和幸福感与一般人群相似。
