The role of antimullerian hormone in prediction of outcome after IVF: comparison with the antral follicle count.

چکیده
OBJECTIVE To assess the value of antimullerian hormone (AMH) as a test to predict poor ovarian response and pregnancy occurrence after IVF and to compare it with the performance of the antral follicle count (AFC). DESIGN A systematic review of existing literature and a meta-analysis were carried out. After a comprehensive search, studies were included if 2 x 2 tables for outcomes poor response and pregnancy in IVF patients in relation to AMH or AFC could be constructed. SETTING Academic referral center for tertiary care. PATIENT(S) Cases indicated for IVF. INTERVENTION(S) None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Poor response and nonpregnancy after IVF. RESULT(S) A total of 13 studies were found reporting on AMH and 17 on AFC. Because of heterogeneity among studies, calculation of a summary point estimate for sensitivity and specificity was not possible. However, for both tests summary receiver operating characteristic curves for the outcome measures poor response and nonpregnancy could be estimated and compared. The curves for the prediction of poor response indicated no significant difference between the performances of AMH and AFC. For the prediction of nonpregnancy, poor performance for both AMH and AFC was found. CONCLUSION(S) In this meta-analysis it was shown that AMH has at least the same level of accuracy and clinical value for the prediction of poor response and nonpregnancy as AFC.

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to identify factors that affect in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes in women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). METHODS We reviewed 99 IVF cycles in 52 women with DOR between September 2010 and January 2015. DOR was defined as serum anti-Müllerian hormone level of <1.1 ng/dL or serum follicle-stimulating hormone level of ≥20 mIU/mL. Total 96 cycles in 50 patie...

Background: Administration of recombinant luteinizing hormone (rLH) in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation may benefit a subpopulation of patients. However, late follicular phase administration of high doses of rLH may also reduce the size of the follicular cohort and promote monofollicular development. Materials and Methods: To determine if rLH in late follicular development had a negative imp...
