PURPOSE: To study the association, if any, between anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and pre-ovulatory endometrial thickness (ET) in gonadotropin/intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included a total …
PURPOSE: To determine if creating voting ensembles combining convolutional neural networks (CNN), support vector machine (SVM), and multi-layer neural networks (NN) alongside clinical parameters improves the accuracy of artificial intellige…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the differences in implantation and pregnancy rates when embryo transfer occurs on D2 versus D3 in women with a low yield of fertilized oocytes. METHODS: A total of 156 IVF/ICSI cycles from 141 women at an academic fer…
