Cohort study reveals varying live birth rates across infertility etiologies in couples undergoing in vitro fertilization, highlighting superior outcomes in unexplained infertility.

Key Points

Assess the distribution of various infertility etiologies and determine their impact on treatment outcomes and live birth rates in couples undergoing in vitro fertilization.
Analyzed clinical records from 9,132 couples receiving in vitro fertilization (IVF) at a single fertility center in Istanbul, Turkey, between 2010 and 2020.
Tracked ovarian response parameters, mature metaphase II (MII) oocyte counts, and pregnancy outcomes across 7,485 embryo transfer procedures.
Female factor infertility was the most prevalent etiology (35.4%), followed by male factor (26.4%), combined factor (22.3%), and unexplained infertility (15.8%), with diminished ovarian reserve representing the predominant female indication.
Couples with unexplained infertility yielded the highest numbers of mature MII oocytes and exhibited significantly higher antral follicle counts alongside the combined infertility group.
Pregnancy rates and live birth rates varied significantly across etiologies, with the male and unexplained infertility cohorts achieving higher success rates and unexplained infertility yielding the highest live birth rate overall.
