STUDY QUESTION: Does inverse probability weighting (IPW) provide a more valid estimate of the cumulative incidence of live birth after multiple cycles of IVF? SUMMARY ANSWER: IPW can provide a more accurate estimate of treatment success fo…
BACKGROUND: It is unknown whether certain factors are associated with the success of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). AIM: This study assessed whether certain characteristics are associated with …
PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF), including cumulative live birth rate, among women <25 years, 25 to <30 years, and 30 to <35 years. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of all wom…
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects women of reproductive age, so there are concerns about its effects on fertility. We investigated the success of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in patients with IBD compared with the …
Confusion is common when trying to compare the outcome of different fertility treatments. Calculation of fecundability is an excellent adjunct to reports that show cumulative conception totals after a period of observation or treatment.
OBJECTIVE: We examined whether the proliferative index of luteinized granulosa cells, as determined by flow cytometry, varied as a function of a woman's ovarian reserve, as reserve, as reflected by follicular-phase day 3 serum follicle-stim…
