Discrete survival model analysis of a couple's smoking pattern and outcomes of assisted reproduction
BACKGROUND: Cigarette smoking has been associated with worse infertility treatment outcomes, yet some studies have found null or inconsistent results. METHODS: We followed 225 couples who underwent 354 fresh non-donor assisted reproductive…

Association between serum folate and vitamin B-12 and outcomes of assisted reproductive technologies
BACKGROUND: Preconceptional folate and vitamin B-12 have been linked to beneficial reproductive outcomes in both natural pregnancies and those after assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study wa…
