To investigate the potential effect of endometriosis on embryo development and clinical outcomes, a retrospective analysis of 716 women undergoing their first standard in vitro fertilization (sIVF) cycles (205 endometriosis and 511 with tubal factor infertility) was performed. The endometriosis group included women with an ultrasonographic or surgical diagnosis. Control subjects were women diagnosed with tubal factor infertility by laparoscopy or hysterosalpingogram.

- The study aimed to determine if high relative humidity conditions during embryo culture improve ongoing pregnancy rates when using a time-lapse system.
- A total of 496 patients undergoing their first ICSI cycle were divided between dry conditions and high humidity, and several factors were analyzed to compare outcomes.
- The findings indicated that high humidity did not lead to significant improvements in pregnancy rates or embryological outcomes compared to dry conditions.
Purpose: Does existing scientific literature suggest an impact of oocyte dysmorphisms on biological or clinical outcomes of assisted reproduction treatments?
Methods: Studies of interest were selected from an initial cohort of 6651 potentially relevant records retrieved. PubMed was systematically searched for peer-reviewed original papers and reviews identified by keywords and medical subject heading (MeSH) terms. The most relevant publications were critically evaluated to identify criteria for oocyte morphological evaluation and IVF outcomes.
