PURPOSE: To evaluate the association, if any, between the grade of the trophectoderm (TE) and the rate at which β-human-chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) rises in early pregnancy. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study including 1116 s…
PURPOSE: To study the association, if any, between anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and pre-ovulatory endometrial thickness (ET) in gonadotropin/intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included a total …
PURPOSE: To determine if creating voting ensembles combining convolutional neural networks (CNN), support vector machine (SVM), and multi-layer neural networks (NN) alongside clinical parameters improves the accuracy of artificial intellige…
OBJECTIVE: To define specific risk factors for placenta previa in pregnancies conceived with assisted reproductive technology (ART). DESIGN: Retrospective cohort. SETTING: Fertility centers and inpatient obstetric units in Massachusetts. …
OBJECTIVE: To compare the obstetric and perinatal outcomes of deliveries conceived with embryos from single-step vs. sequential culture media systems. DESIGN: Historical cohort of Massachusetts vital records linked to assisted reproductive…
PURPOSE: We sought to determine whether pregnancies conceived in those with male factor infertility have unique placental pathology profiles compared to those undergoing infertility treatments for other indications. METHODS: This was a ret…
PURPOSE: We aimed to assess whether home collection and increased time to semen processing are associated with altered sperm parameters, fertilization rates (FR), day 5 usable quality blastocyst development rates (D5-UQBR), or pregnancy rat…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the differences in implantation and pregnancy rates when embryo transfer occurs on D2 versus D3 in women with a low yield of fertilized oocytes. METHODS: A total of 156 IVF/ICSI cycles from 141 women at an academic fer…
PURPOSE: Morphological evaluation is currently considered the single most important predictive measure for assessing embryo quality. The aim of this study was to investigate whether cycles with at least one non-cleaved embryo (i.e., a 1-cel…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine whether the presence of an uncleaved embryo on day 3 is predictive of cycle outcome after day 5 transfer (D5 ET). METHODS: In vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles f…
