The efficacy of recombinant versus urinary HCG in ART outcome

چکیده
BACKGROUND Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) has been used as a replacement for the mid-cycle luteinizing hormone (LH) surge for several years. The recent arrival of recombinant DNA technology has made recombinant HCG (rHCG) accessible. OBJECTIVE To assess efficacy of rHCG compared to urinary HCG (uHCG) for triggering of ovulation and induction of final oocyte maturation in assisted reproductive cycles. MATERIALS AND METHODS 200 patients who were candidate for ICSI were randomly divided in two groups. In group I (rHCG), patients received 250µg of rHCG for final oocyte maturation, and in group II (uHCG) the patients received 10000 IU of uHCG. Measured outcomes were number of retrieved oocyte and mature oocyte, maturation rate of oocyte, fertilization rate and clinical pregnancy rate. RESULTS The rates of oocyte maturity were similar in both groups. Fertilization rate was similar in two groups (58.58% in rHCG group versus 60.58% in uHCG group p=0.666). The clinical pregnancy rate per cycle was similar in both group 34.0% in rHCG group versus 39% in uHCG group (p=0.310). CONCLUSION We demonstrated that rHCG is as effective as uHCG, when it is used for final oocyte maturation in ICSI cycles. The numbers of retrieved oocyte and maturation rates were similar in both groups; also fertilization and clinical pregnancy rates were similar.

P-165: Comparison of Urinary and Recombinant Human Chorionic Gonadotropin during Ovulation Induction in Intrauterine Insemination Cycles
Background: Urinary human chorionic gonadotropin is the most widely used medicine for ovulation in ovarian stimulation cycles. Recently however, recombinant HCG has also become commercially available. This study presents compare the use of recombinant hCG with urinary hCG during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and intra uterine insemination (COH-IUI ) cycles Materials and Methods: This is s...

Objective The success rates of assisted reproduction technology (ART) could be developed with the improvement of ovarian stimulation protocols as well as the optimization of final oocyte maturation. The goal of this study was to compare oocyte maturation, fertilization and pregnancy rates among women with concomitant FSH administration at the time of hCG trigger and the hCG trigger alone.

Background Coasting is the most common method used in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) acting through vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) reduction. However, the pregnancy rate is reported to fall with coasting when it takes more than three days. Recently lowdose cabergoline, a selective D2 dopamine receptor agonist has been proven to selectively reduce vascular ...
