Abstract
Purpose: To develop a predictive model for estimating the total dose of gonadotropins and the number mature oocytes in planned oocyte cryopreservation cycles.
Methods: In this retrospective study, oocyte cryopreservation cycles recorded in the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinic Outcome Reporting System Database from 2013 to 2018 were analyzed. Bivariate copula additive models for location, scale, and shape were performed to create a predictive model for estimating total dose of gonadotropins and number of mature oocytes.
Results: A total of 15,806 oocyte cryopreservation cycles between 2013 and 2018 were included in the analysis. The average age of participants was 35.4 years, the mean duration of stimulation was 11.8 days, and the average number of mature oocytes retrieved was 11.8. The treatment dose increased with age, FSH levels, BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2, smoking, and history of diminished ovarian reserve, while it decreased with increasing AMH, ovulatory disorder, and BMI < 25 kg/m2. The number of mature oocytes retrieved was positively correlated with AMH and negatively correlated with age, FSH levels, Asian race, and diminished ovarian reserve. With a maximum gonadotropin dosage of 450 IU per day for 12 ± 3 days of stimulation and a tolerance level of six mature oocytes, the predictive model achieved 70% accuracy. An interactive version of the equation was created as an online tool.
Conclusions: We developed a predictive model to estimate the total treatment dosage and the number of mature oocytes. This calculator, utilizing objective patient variables, can assist in patient counseling prior to planned oocyte cryopreservation cycles.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics publishes cellular, molecular, genetic, and epigenetic discoveries advancing our understanding of the biology and underlying mechanisms from gametogenesis to offspring health. Special emphasis is placed on the practice and evolution of assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs) with reference to the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting fertility. Our goal is to educate our readership in the translation of basic and clinical discoveries made from human or relevant animal models to the safe and efficacious practice of human ARTs. The scientific rigor and ethical standards embraced by the JARG editorial team ensures a broad international base of expertise guiding the marriage of contemporary clinical research paradigms with basic science discovery. JARG publishes original papers, minireviews, case reports, and opinion pieces often combined into special topic issues that will educate clinicians and scientists with interests in the mechanisms of human development that bear on the treatment of infertility and emerging innovations in human ARTs. The guiding principles of male and female reproductive health impacting pre- and post-conceptional viability and developmental potential are emphasized within the purview of human reproductive health in current and future generations of our species.
The journal is published in cooperation with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, an organization of more than 8,000 physicians, researchers, nurses, technicians and other professionals dedicated to advancing knowledge and expertise in reproductive biology.
