RESEARCH QUESTION: Could a predictive model, using data from all US fertility clinics reporting to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, estimate the likelihood of patients using their stored oocytes? DESIGN: Multiple learner a…
IMPORTANCE: Poor ovarian response (POR) to stimulation may impact patients' desire or need to utilize cryopreserved oocytes for family building in the future. These findings, captured by Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) n…
OBJECTIVE: To identify early follicular phase microribonucleic acids (miRNAs) that are altered in serum of women with endometriosis. DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING: Large university-affiliated in vitro fertilization center. PATIENT(…
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether younger oocyte donor age is associated with better outcomes after in vitro fertilization (IVF) compared with older oocyte donor age. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Large academically affilia…
PURPOSE: This retrospective cohort study aimed to determine whether age influences treatment discontinuation among insured patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). We hypothesized that the youngest patients would be the least likel…
Genes critical for fertility are highly conserved in mammals. Interspecies DNA sequence variation, resulting in amino acid substitutions and post-transcriptional modifications, including alternative splicing, are a result of evolution and s…
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to analyze the outcomes of IVF/ICSI cycles in women aged 43 and beyond. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of clinical pregnancy and live birth rates in 168 fresh, non donor, ART cycles performed in two Conn…
Human Assisted Reproductive Technology: Future Trends in Laboratory and Clinical Practice offers a collection of concise, practical review articles on cutting-edge topics within reproductive medicine. Each article presents a balanced view o…
Purpose To reconsider the implantation and delivery rates which occurred six years later in women with endometriosis from the Yale IVF Programme. Methods Five hundred and ninety-seven consecutive IVF and ICSI treatment cycles were analyzed …
ObjectiveThe aim was to determine the number and the grade of oocyte-corona-cumulus complex (OCCC) and the most viable embryos for transfer in women with endometriosis compared to those with tubal factor infertility.Study methodsPatients un…

Age, BMI, lifestyle, menstrual status and obstetric history can modulate the endocrine system and, therefore, have been hypothesised to play a role in in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) outcome. We designed a retrospective study, set in a medical…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and ART outcomes in women with advanced-stage endometriosis and previous surgeries at the Yale IVF program between 1996 and 2002. DESIGN: Retrospective case cont…
