The Effects of Maternal and Paternal Body Mass Index on Live Birth Rate after Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Cycles.

Background: We designed the present study to evaluate the simultaneous effect of obesity in couples on in vitro fertilization/ intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) outcomes.

Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, performed at Royan Institute between January 2013 and January 2014, we evaluated the recorded data of all patients during this time period. The study population was limited to couples who underwent ICSI or IVF/ICSI cycles with autologous oocytes and fresh embryo transfers.

The effect of weight loss program on serum anti-Müllerian hormone level in obese and overweight infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

We evaluated the predictive value of serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels for improved menstrual cycles in response to dietary management in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In addition, we assessed the effect of a restricted calorie diet for 12 weeks on serum AMH levels. This intervention study was carried out at Rohan Institute, Tehran, Iran from 2013 to 2015.

The impact of the localisation of endometriosis lesions on ovarian reserve and assisted reproduction techniques outcomes.

This case-control study was designed to evaluate the impact of endometriosis and the presence of endometrioma (OMA) per se on the serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level and also to compare the in vitro fertilisation/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) outcomes after therapeutic surgery in endometriosis patients, according to the localisation of endometriosis lesions. One hundred and fifty two infertile women ≤40 years with suspicious symptoms were surgically evaluated to detect the aetiology of infertility at the Royan Institute during this study and, in parallel, 131 patients with a male factor infertility diagnosis were considered as the control group. The serum AMH level and IVF/ICSI outcomes were compared according to the nature and extension degree of endometriosis lesions.

Factors that Influence The Occurrence of Multiple Pregnancies after Intracytoplasmic Injection Cycles with Two or Three Fresh Embryo Transfers.

Background: Multiple pregnancies are an important complication of assisted reproductive technology (ART). The present study aims to indentify the risk factors for multiple pregnancies independent of the number of transferred embryos.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles in Royan Institute between October 2011 and January 2012.

Predictive values of anti-müllerian hormone, antral follicle count and ovarian response prediction index (ORPI) for assisted reproductive technology outcomes.

This prospective study was performed from June 2012 to June 2014 at Royan Institute to compare the predictive values of serum anti-müllerian hormone (AMH), antral follicle count (AFC) and ovarian response prediction index (ORPI) ([AFC × AMH]/age) for in vitro fertilisation/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycle outcomes. Five hundred and fifty women included in the study with male factor and unexplained infertility were the first candidates for IVF/ICSI cycles. Serum AMH level was measured by a commercial ELISA kit and AFC was calculated by a transvaginal ultrasonography on day 2-3 of the menstrual cycle before starting ovarian stimulation.

Assisted reproductive outcomes in women with different polycystic ovary syndrome phenotypes: the predictive value of anti-Müllerian hormone.

This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes in different polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) phenotypes (A, B, C and D) compared with a control group and the predictive values of serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in PCOS phenotypes for main outcomes. This study evaluated 386 PCOS women and 350 patients with male factor infertility. Women with phenotypes A and C had significantly higher concentrations of AMH than those with phenotype B (P < 0.

Uterine cavity assessment in infertile women: Sensitivity and specificity of three-dimensional Hysterosonography versus Hysteroscopy.

Background: Assessment of uterine abnormalities is a core part in infertility evaluation.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of three-dimensional hysterosonography (3-DHS) in the diagnosis of uterine abnormalities in infertile women.

Materials And Methods: The infertile women who visited Royan Institute and referred to 3-DHS consecutively, prior to in vitro fertilization, from 2010-2011 included in this cross-sectional study.
