This research has suggested a link between major depressive disorder (MDD) and infertility, with interleukin-18 (IL-18) being proposed as a potential mediator due to its connections to both conditions. A Mendelian randomization (MR) approac…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the differences in the factors associated with endometriosis between Chinese and British patients. METHODS: This case-control study was conducted in 387 patients with endometriosis and 199 non-endometriosis patients ad…
Oocyte retrieval is a routine procedure during the application of assisted reproduction technology. However, technical difficulties experienced during oocyte retrieval and the subsequent unsatisfactory number of oocytes obtained are rarely …
BackgroundIn recent years, some studies have shown that there is a positive association between the number of oocytes retrieved and the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) after fresh and frozen cycles of one oocyte retrieval. However, almost…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Which factors are related to early spontaneous miscarriage in IVF-conceived clinical pregnancies? DESIGN: A total of 21,485 clinical pregnancies were included in the analysis. First, early spontaneous miscarriage rates w…
We investigated the effects of paternal characteristics, including age, body mass index (BMI), and semen parameters on chromosomal aberration-related miscarriages in couples that underwent treatment with assisted reproductive technology (AR…
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients have a better ovarian reserve and age-related improvement in endocrine disturbances than non-PCOS patients. The effects of age on in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment outcomes associat…
BACKGROUND: Patients with endometriosis (EMs) are routinely advised to take GnRH-a for 3–6 months to improve the internal reproductive environment, but this may not be necessary. MATERIAL/METHODS: This retrospective study examined the effec…

Background: Female overweight/obesity has been reported to be associated with compromised pregnancy outcomes in fresh embryo transfer cycles. It is unclear whether the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) is adversely affected after all viable…
PurposeTo explore the relationships between the soluble receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (sRAGE) and the outcome parameters following in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCO…
ObjectiveTo retrospectively analyze the effects of long-acting gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) combined with transvaginal ultrasound-guided cyst aspiration on the pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer …
