LOD Before IVF/ICSI in PCOS Patients With High AMH
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To evaluate the effect of performing laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) before proceeding to in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) on the cycle outcomes in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients with high antimullerian hormone (AMH) levels

Detailed Description
Retrospective case-control study of PCOS women with high serum AMH level (≥ 7 ng/ml) who were subjected IVF/ICSI. Women underwent LOD in the preceding 3 months prior to IVF/ICSI (study group) will be compared with a control group of women who did not underwent LOD (control group)

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of oocytes retrieved [36-38 hours after triggering of oocyte maturation]
Number of collected oocytes during oocyte retrieval
- Oocyte maturity rate [Within one hour after oocyte retrieval]
Calculated for each woman by dividing the number of mature oocytes (MII oocytes) by the total number of oocytes retrieved
- Fertilization rate [20-24 hours after injection (or insemination)]
Calculated for each couple by dividing the number of fertilized oocytes by the number of injected (or inseminated) oocytes
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Clinical pregnancy rate [6 weeks after embryo transfer]
Number of clinical pregnancies (defined as presence of at least one intrauterine gestational sac with fetal pole and cardiac activity on TVS scan at 4-6 weeks after the ET) divided by the number of ET procedures
- Implantation rate [6 weeks after embryo transfer]
Number of gestational sacs on TVS scan at 4-6 weeks after ET divided by the number of transferred embryos
- Incidence of early OHSS [Within 9 days of final triggering of oocyte maturation]
Incidence of OHSS within 9 days of final triggering of oocyte maturation
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
