Key Findings:
Concerns have been raised regarding incorrect percentages in Table 3 of the study as noted by the Editor-in-Chief.
The author has not responded to the concerns raised or provided raw data.
Interpretation:
Results and conclusions of the study should be interpreted with caution due to the raised concerns.
Limitations:
Lack of response from the author to the Publisher's correspondence regarding the concerns.
Unverified data due to absence of raw data submission.
Conclusion:
The integrity of the study's findings is questioned due to methodological concerns.
In a nationwide US cohort, parental subfecundity was associated with higher odds of autism spectrum disorder and modest increases in behavioral symptoms, while in vitro fertilization showed no statistically significant associations with neurodevelopmental outcomes.
