BackgroundFew studies have analyzed the endometrial preparation protocols for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) in patients at high risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). This study aimed to investigate the optimal protocol for…
BackgroundDifferent endometrial preparation protocols are used prior to frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). Optimization of endometrial preparation protocols is mandatory to improve live birth rate and obstetric and perinatal outcomes. In …
Study questionWhat are the trial characteristics, geographic distribution, and selected methodological issues of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in infertility published from 2012 to 2023?Summary answerOf the 1425 infertility RCTs, over…
BACKGROUND: Uterine contractions may interfere with embryo implantation in assisted reproductive technology. To reduce these contractions and improve success rates, the oxytocin antagonist atosiban has been suggested for administration duri…
BackgroundIn women with unexplained infertility, tubal flushing with oil-based contrast during hysterosalpingography leads to significantly more live births as compared to tubal flushing with water-based contrast during hysterosalpingograph…
BackgroundIn women with unexplained infertility, tubal flushing with oil-based contrast during hysterosalpingography (HSG) increases ongoing pregnancy and subsequent live birth rates when compared to tubal flushing with water-based contrast…
We aim to first systematically review and perform a meta-analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and, second, to evaluate the accuracy of various sonographic diagnostic crit…
OBJECTIVE: To review the diagnostic accuracy and determine the optimum imaging modality for the detection of bladder deep endometriosis (DE) in women with a clinical suspicion of endometriosis. METHODS: A systematic review of studies publi…
STUDY QUESTION: Is there an ideal imaging modality for the detection of uterosacral ligaments/torus uterinus (USL), rectovaginal septum (RVS) and vaginal deep endometriosis (DE) in women with a clinical history of endometriosis? SUMMARY AN…
OBJECTIVES: To review the accuracy of different imaging modalities for the detection of rectosigmoid deep endometriosis (DE) in women with clinical suspicion of endometriosis, and to determine the optimal modality. METHODS: A search was co…
