In vitro fertilization (IVF) has the potential to give babies to millions more people globally, yet it continues to be underutilized. We established a globally applicable and locally adaptable IVF prognostics report and framework to support patient-provider counseling and enable validated, data-driven treatment decisions. This study investigates the IVF utilization rates associated with the usage of machine learning, center-specific (MLCS) prognostic reports (the Univfy report) in provider-patient pre-treatment and IVF counseling.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 791 freeze-thaw cycles of blastocysts vitrified either on day 5 or on day 6 and transferred between January 2012 and October 2015. Five hundred and thirty-seven cycles included blastocysts vitrified on day 5, and 254 cycles included blastocysts vitrified on day 6.
This prospective sequential, cohort study examined the two most common multinucleation phenotypes observed in the authors' clinic, binucleated (BN) and micronucleated (MN) blastomeres, and included all intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) patients <40 years of age with at least one multinucleated embryo in the cohort as observed on day 2 of development. Eighty ICSI cycles of 560 consecutive cycles had multinucleated embryos (14.3%).
