Article Synopsis
- A systematic review was conducted to evaluate various interventions for recurrent implantation failure (RIF), summarizing findings from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) related to treatment effectiveness in terms of clinical pregnancy rates (CPR) and live birth rates (LBR).
- A total of 47 systematic reviews were analyzed, revealing that most had low methodological quality and inconsistencies, highlighting issues like overlap of RCTs and varied definitions of RIF across studies.
- Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), intralipid infusion, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) showed significant impacts on CPR and LBR, indicating potential benefits from these treatments based on the GRADE strength assessment.
Introduction: Infertile couples frequently utilize the Internet to find various reproductive clinics and research their alternatives. Patients are increasingly using self-referral because of online information on health-care providers. The objective is to compare the image of infertility specialists to other team members on the websites of reproductive clinics.

Predicting and understanding a patient's response to ovarian stimulation can help in personalizing doses of drugs, preventing adverse outcomes (eg, hyperstimulation), and improving the likelihood of successful fertilization and pregnancy. Given the pivotal role of accurate predictions in IVF procedures, it becomes important to investigate the landscape of AI models that are being used to predict the outcomes of ovarian stimulation.

Methods: During a 1-month interval (March 2022), all Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) and the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) member fertility clinic websites were evaluated. The professional representation of the primary care team was examined including specialties, the presence of headshots, and biographies.
Background: The potential of COVID-19 severe pandemic necessitates the development of an organized and well-reasoned plan for the management of embryology/andrology laboratories while safeguarding the wellbeing of patients and IVF staff.
Main Body: A COVID-19 pandemic response plan was proposed for embryology and andrology laboratories for pre-pandemic preparedness and pandemic management in anticipation of a possible second coronavirus wave. Preparation involves many plans and logistics before a pandemic risk rises.
