ObjectiveTo investigate the interaction between atosiban and growth hormone (GH) as adjuvants in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles.MethodA total of 11627 patients who underwent FET at Xiamen University Affiliated Chenggong Hospital…

BackgroundLow-dose aspirin is one of the widely used adjuvants in assisted reproductive technologies with the hope of improving the live birth rate. However, the studies regarding its effects are conflicting. The study aimed to investigate …

PurposeTo evaluate the contribution of the cleavage stage morphological parameters to the prediction of blastocyst transfer outcomes.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on 8383 single-blastocyst transfer cycles including 2246 fresh a…

PurposeTo investigate the impact of heterogeneity in patient indications or insemination protocols on neonatal outcomes of singletons following early rescue ICSI (rICSI) treatments.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted. Propensity scor…

Study questionWhat was the performance of different pretreatment prediction models for IVF, which were developed based on UK/US population (McLernon 2016 model, Luke model, Dhillon model, and McLernon 2022 model), in wider populations?Summa…

BackgroundOocyte degeneration was mostly described in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles; there is no report showing the relationship between oocyte degeneration and clinical outcomes in conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF)…

Background: Male and female gametes factors might contribute to the total fertilization failure (TFF). In first in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, decision-making of insemination protocol was mainly based on semen quality for the contribu…

BackgroundPrevious studies have arguably associated poor embryo morphology with low birth weight in singletons following single embryo transfer. However, the association between birth weight and specific morphological features in the cleava…

PurposeTo evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and pregnancy outcomes in women receiving intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatment.MethodsThe study included 6407 women undergoing 13,745 IUI cycles stratified by BMI. Cox re…

Rationale: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is closely linked to follicular dysplasia and impaired bidirectional oocyte-granulosa cell (GC) communication. Given that PCOS is a heterogeneous, multifactorial endocrine disorder, it is importan…

The embryo transfer depth may affect the chance of pregnancy. However, embryo dislodging caused by uterine contraction may occur after the transfer. The aim of the retrospective study was to investigate whether the factors associated with u…

BackgroundWhile single embryo transfer (SET) is widely advocated, double embryo transfer (DET) remains preferable in clinical practice to improve IVF success rate, especially in poor prognosis patients with only poor quality embryos (PQEs) …

Objective To investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and ectopic pregnancy (EP) following embryo transfer (ET). Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting University‐affiliated hospital. Population A total of 16 378 pregna…

BackgroundEstradiol (E2 ) is an important hormone in women. Changes of serum E2 levels may affect the endometrial receptivity for embryo implantation and thus affect pregnancy outcomes. This study was to assess the association between serum…

The prospective study including 166 participants aims to evaluate the association between seminal prosaposin and the outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles in humans. The generalized linear model (GLM) was used to analyze the assoc…

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate whether individual response of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) treatment is associated with difference in ovarian stimulation outcomes.MethodsThe retro…
