This study aimed to investigate the influence of various sperm quality characteristics, including morphology, motility, and count, on the success rates of clinical pregnancy achieved through assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and intrauterine insemination (IUI). The secondary objective was to assess the impact of these sperm parameters on the clinical pregnancy rate that resulted in the detection of a fetal heartbeat during the 11th week of gestation, a crucial milestone in successful ART-derived pregnancies. The researchers employed a retrospective analysis, evaluating data from 734 couples undergoing IVF/ICSI and 1197 couples undergoing IUI across two infertility centers.

Objective: The objective of this study is to utilize a machine learning approach to identify the principal predictors of success in in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatments.
Materials And Methods: We collected data from 734 individuals at 2 infertility centers in Mashhad, Iran between November 2016 and March 2017.
Endometrial thickness in assisted reproductive techniques is one of the essential factors in the success of pregnancy. Despite extensive studies on endometrial thickness prediction, research is still needed. We aimed to analyze the impact of endometrial thickness on the ongoing pregnancy rate in couples with unexplained infertility.
