Looking into the future: a machine learning powered prediction model for oocyte return rates after cryopreservation
Reproductive biomedicine online ·doi:10.1016/j.rbmo.2024.104432

RESEARCH QUESTION: Could a predictive model, using data from all US fertility clinics reporting to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, estimate the likelihood of patients using their stored oocytes? DESIGN: Multiple learner a…

Utilization of Cryopreserved Oocytes in Patients With Poor Ovarian Response After Planned Oocyte Cryopreservation
JAMA network open ·doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2023.49722

IMPORTANCE: Poor ovarian response (POR) to stimulation may impact patients' desire or need to utilize cryopreserved oocytes for family building in the future. These findings, captured by Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) n…

Identification of miR-34-3p as a candidate follicular phase serum marker for endometriosis: a pilot study
F&S science ·doi:10.1016/j.xfss.2022.02.005

OBJECTIVE: To identify early follicular phase microribonucleic acids (miRNAs) that are altered in serum of women with endometriosis. DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING: Large university-affiliated in vitro fertilization center. PATIENT(…

The impact of younger age on treatment discontinuation in insured IVF patients.
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-016-0839-5

PurposeThis retrospective cohort study aimed to determine whether age influences treatment discontinuation among insured patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). We hypothesized that the youngest patients would be the least likely …

In vitro fertilization in women under 35: counseling should differ by age.
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-015-0570-7

PurposeThe aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF), including cumulative live birth rate, among women <25 years, 25 to <30 years, and 30 to <35 years.MethodsA retrospective cohort study of all women 18 …

Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) alternative skipping of exon 2 or 3 affects ovarian response to FSH.
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/gau024

Genes critical for fertility are highly conserved in mammals. Interspecies DNA sequence variation, resulting in amino acid substitutions and post-transcriptional modifications, including alternative splicing, are a result of evolution and s…

Reproductive outcome of women 43 years and beyond undergoing ART treatment with their own oocytes in two Connecticut university programs.
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-013-9981-5

PurposeThe aim of this study was to analyze the outcomes of IVF/ICSI cycles in women aged 43 and beyond.MethodsRetrospective analysis of clinical pregnancy and live birth rates in 168 fresh, non donor, ART cycles performed in two Connecticu…

Epidemiological factors influencing IVF outcome: Evidence from the Yale IVF program
Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology : the journal of the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology ·doi:10.1080/01443610801912436

Age, BMI, lifestyle, menstrual status and obstetric history can modulate the endocrine system and, therefore, have been hypothesised to play a role in in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) outcome. We designed a retrospective study, set in a medical…

Women with advanced-stage endometriosis and previous surgery respond less well to gonadotropin stimulation, but have similar IVF implantation and delivery rates compared with women with tubal factor infertility
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2007.01.037

ObjectiveTo investigate the response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and ART outcomes in women with advanced-stage endometriosis and previous surgeries at the Yale IVF program between 1996 and 2002.DesignRetrospective case control st…
