The Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment on the Cumulative Live Birth Rate of Patients with Poor Ovarian Response to the Patient-Oriented Strategies Encompassing Individualized Oocyte Number Criteria.

Objective: This study analyzed the role of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment on the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) in women with poor ovarian response to the patient-oriented strategies encompassing individualized oocyte number (POSEIDON) criteria.

Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the role of TCM treatment on the CLBR of patients with poor ovarian response to POSEIDON criteria.
