Article Synopsis
- The study investigated whether oral progestogen could reduce miscarriage rates in women experiencing threatened miscarriage during their first trimester compared to a placebo.
- The results indicated that there was no significant difference in miscarriage rates before 20 weeks, with 12.8% in the progestogen group and 14.3% in the placebo group.
- Overall, the use of oral progestogen did not improve outcomes in these cases, aligning with previous findings regarding vaginal progestogens.

August 2020
The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of ovarian response prediction index (ORPI) in predicting ovarian response and livebirth of women undergoing their first in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycle. This is a retrospective analysis of 285 women from 2013 to 2016. The outcome measures were area (AUC) under the receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curves for prediction of excessive and poor response, livebirth in the fresh cycle and cumulative livebirth.
