Economic evaluations of single- versus double-embryo transfer in IVF.
Multiple pregnancies lead to complications and induce high costs. The most successful way to decrease multiple pregnancies in IVF is to transfer only one embryo, which might reduce the efficacy of treatment. The objective of this review is to determine which embryo-transfer policy is most cost-effective: elective single-embryo transfer (eSET) or double-embryo transfer (DET). Several databases w...
متن کاملIVF Treatment and Single Embryo Transfer
IVF has been described as one the medical breakthroughs of the 20 th Century. Over 5 million children have been born using the methods first developed by Robert Edwards who died last year. However there is continuing concern about some of the outcomes of IVF treatment (Kamphuis et al., 2014), particularly the high number of multiple births, a problem which became apparent only a few years after...
متن کاملImpact of patients' choice for single embryo transfer of a top quality embryo versus double embryo transfer in the first IVF/ICSI cycle.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of transferring a single top quality embryo in the first IVF/ICSI cycle of patients <38 years old who chose to have one or two embryos transferred. METHODS A total of 262 patients participated in the study, and 243 transfers were performed: 156 (64%) patients chose the transfer of a single top quality embryo, if available, and two no...
متن کاملElective single-embryo transfer versus double-embryo transfer in in vitro fertilization.
BACKGROUND The risks of premature birth and perinatal death are increased after in vitro fertilization. These risks are mainly due to the high incidence of multiple births, which relates to the number of embryos transferred. METHODS We performed a randomized, multicenter trial to assess the equivalence of two approaches to in vitro fertilization with respect to the rates of pregnancy that res...
متن کاملSingle embryo transfer in IVF to prevent multiple pregnancies.
As the success rates of IVF clinics improve, one of the adverse consequences is the increased incidence of twins, due largely to the number of embryos transferred. Even if the number of embryos transferred is restricted to two, the twinning rate can exceed 40% of the pregnancies. An obvious way to reduce this high twin rate would be to transfer only one embryo. This would require that cryoprese...
