Endometrial thickness as a predictive value of ectopic pregnancy in in-vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles: a case-control study.

Background: The incidence rate of ectopic pregnancy (EP) with assisted reproductive technology (ART) has been reported to be higher than that of spontaneous pregnancy. Endometrial thickness (EMT) is considered an independent risk factor.

Objectives: Evaluation of endometrial thickness as a predictor of ectopic pregnancy in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycles.

Pregnancy Outcomes of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Cycle Complicated by Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS): Case Series Study.

Background: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a frequent, potentially lethal side effect of assisted reproductive technology (ART), distinguished by symptoms such as ovarian enlargement, ascites, and pleural effusion.

Objective: This study is designed to study the effect of assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycle complicated by OHSS on pregnancy outcomes.

Method: A case series study at King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was executed to examine the pregnancy outcomes in in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles.

Prevalence of Psychological Stress Among Women Attending the Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Unit at King Abdulaziz Medical City: A COVID-19 Pandemic Experience.

Aim The present study aimed to measure the prevalence of psychological stress among women attending the Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) unit in King Abdulaziz Medical City during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional design and was conducted between January 2020 and December 2022. A sample of 104 women attending the ART unit were recruited in this study.

Knowledge regarding teratogens among women of childbearing age at a large tertiary care center in Saudi Arabia.

Aim: To investigate the knowledge of Saudi women regarding the teratogenic effects of environmental agents such as fever, some chronic conditions and medications and its association with certain socio-demographic factors.

Materials And Methods: A survey based cross-sectional study was conducted on 315 Saudi women of childbearing age visiting OB/GYN clinics at a large tertiary care centre in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Knowledge of subjects on teratogenic risk of common entities was measured and nonparametric Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to associate knowledge score with various predictors.

Fertility awareness, intentions concerning childbearing, and attitudes toward parenthood among female health professions students in Saudi Arabia.

Objective: Postponing childbearing is becoming increasingly common among higher education students. The awareness about the extent of the age-related decline in female fertility is unknown in Saudi Arabia. The main aim of the study was to assess fertility awareness, particularly age-related fertility decline, and attitudes toward parenthood.

Follicular aspiration versus coasting for ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome prevention.

Objective: To compare follicular reduction prior to human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) trigger and coasting in terms of ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome (OHSS) reduction, pregnancy, and cancellation rates in in vitro fertilization/ intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycles.

Methods:  This study was designed as a prospective study. The setting was the IVF unit at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
