BACKGROUND: Reproductive success shows a well-documented decline with advancing maternal age, primarily due to chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidies) in embryos. While ovarian reserve markers such as Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) and Antra…
PURPOSE: To assess whether embryo transfer (ET) technique can influence the clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) and its correlation with the embryo transfer difficulty. DESIGN: This single center retrospective cohort analysis of fresh and frozen…
The present retrospective study included both intrauterine insemination and in vitro assisted reproductive technologies (ART) procedures performed from January 2009 to December 2018 at a tertiary-care Fertility Centre. The purpose was to as…
PURPOSE: To assess whether live birth rates (LBR) and maternal/neonatal complications differed following single fresh and frozen-warmed blastocyst transfer. METHODS: The present retrospective observational study analyzed 4,613 single embry…
INTRODUCTION: Oocyte cryopreservation is a valid option for female cancer patients to preserve fertility. The number of patients undergoing fertility preservation (FP) cycles has increased over the past years. Nevertheless, the rates of pat…
Introduction: Frozen-thawed embryo transfers (FET) have become a standard practice to increase cumulative pregnancy rates, however, the choice of the best preparation protocol remains a matter of debate. Design: Retrospective analysis of cl…
OBJECTIVE: To assess rates of successful testicular sperm retrieval and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome in cancer survivors affected by non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) or retrograde ejaculation (RE)/failure of emission (FO…
Objective: To assess the association between serum ovulation trigger progesterone (P) levels and the outcome of in vitro fertilization cycles. Design Setting: Real world single-center retrospective cohort study. Patient Intervention(s): All…
PURPOSE: To report our experience on homologous intrauterine insemination (IUI) with gonadotropin controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) cycles and to examine different variables which could predict IUI success. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This i…
Objective: To study the actual controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) management in women with suboptimal response, comparing clinical outcomes to the gonadotropins consume, considering potential role of luteinizing hormone (LH) addition to f…
PURPOSE: To analyse the impact of female characteristics on assisted reproductive technology outcome among male haematological cancer survivors. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 93 haematological cancer survivors attending our tertiary…
PURPOSE: Is there a difference in implantation and pregnancy rates between embryos transferred electively at cleavage or blastocyst stage in infertile women ≤ 38 years with at least four zygotes on day 1 post retrieval? METHODS: A randomiz…
PURPOSE: This study aims to compare implantation, pregnancy, and delivery rates in frozen transfer cycles with blastocysts that were vitrified either with artificial shrinking (AS group) or without (NAS group). METHODS: Retrospective compa…
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive follow-up of fetal and perinatal outcome and the incidence of congenital anomalies in babies born after fresh embryo transfers compared to those conceived spontaneously in infert…
