background: controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (coh) in conjunction with intrauterine inseminations (iui) are commonly used to treat infertile couples. in this study we evaluated the relationship between iui outcome and special causes of infertility. we also aimed to examine parameters that might predict success following iui. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, we included 9...

BACKGROUND There are many factors that affect intrauterine insemination (IUI) success rate and identifying those factors can be helpful. This study aimed to investigate the single versus double IUI in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation cycles. METHODS This is a randomized clinical trial with equal randomization (1:1) conducted on 580 women who underwent IUI in a private infertility clinic fr...

Health-care delivery according to clinical practice guidelines is thought to be critical in achieving optimal outcomes. This study aimed to assess the extent to which practice performance in intrauterine insemination (IUI) care is consistent with guideline recommendations and to evaluate the association between guideline adherence and outcome of IUI care. In a retrospective cohort study, 1100 i...

BACKGROUND This is the first study to assess the outcome of sperm washing and intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles in human immunodeficiency virus-positive (HIV(+)) men to determine any predictors of success, as well as evaluating the effect of HIV on sperm parameters. METHODS Semen characteristics were evaluated in 106 HIV(+) men and a control group of 234 HIV(-) men, and the effect of mar...

BACKGROUND The objective of this review was to compare the efficacy of Fallopian tube sperm perfusion (FSP) with intrauterine insemination (IUI) in the treatment of non-tubal subfertility. METHODS The principles of the Cochrane Menstrual Disorders and Subfertility Group were employed. Only randomized controlled studies comparing FSP with IUI were included in this review. The main outcome meas...

Objectives. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is frequently used as a first line strategy in the treatment of male and unexplained infertility. Threshold levels of sperm parameters associated with IUI success are controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of sperm parameters on the outcome of IUI. Study Design. A prospective observational study. Patients and methods. This ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of double versus single intrauterine insemination (IUI) per treatment cycle in women with unexplained infertility. DESIGN Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Clinical pregnancy rates per couple. INTERVENTION(S) Electronic searches of the Cochrane Central Trials Registry and Medline without year and language restriction...

OBJECTIVE To determine the cost-effectiveness of infertility treatments. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Academic medical center infertility practice. PATIENT(S) All patients treated for infertility in a 1-year time span. INTERVENTION(S) Intrauterine inseminations, clomiphene citrate and IUI (CC-IUI), hMG and IUI (hMG-IUI), assisted reproductive techniques (ART), and neosalpi...

BACKGROUND Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycle is an ideal protocol for some subfertile patients. So, we decided to try this therapeutic protocol for the patients with unilateral tubal blockage diagnosed by hysterosalpingography (HSG). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of unilateral tubal blockage diagnosed by HSG on cumulative pregnancy rate (CPR) of ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the value of gonadotropin/intrauterine insemination (FSH/IUI) therapy for infertile women aged 21-39 years. DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. SETTING Academic medical center associated with a private infertility center. PATIENT(S) Couples with unexplained infertility. INTERVENTION(S) Couples were randomized to receive either conventional treatment (n=247) with t...
