Objective: Aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dual triggering with gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) on outcomes of fresh embryo transfers following gonadotropin antagonist cycles in POSEIDON group 3 and group 4 low prognosis women and to compare the outcomes with hCG-only triggering.
Methods: This study was conducted by retrospective analysis of patients with expected poor ovarian response (POSEIDON group 3 and 4) that underwent fresh embryo transfers following in-vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles with either dual triggering or hCG-only triggering between January 2010 and April 2020. A total of 1068 women that underwent dual triggering and 1931 that underwent hCG-only triggering were included in the study.
Results: Number of retrieved oocytes, M2 oocytes, oocyte maturation rate, fertilization rate, obtained 2PN embryos, implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate and live birth delivery rates were found significantly higher in dual-triggering group in comparison to hCG-only group ( < 0.001, < 0.001, < 0.001, < 0.001, < 0.001, < 0.001, = 0.02, < 0.001 respectively).
Conclusion: Dual trigger with concomitant injections of GnRH agonist and hCG in GnRH antagonist cycles appears to improve IVF outcomes, increase quality of embryos, reduce miscarriage rates and consequently increase live birth delivery rates in POSEIDON groups 3/4 poor responders.

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.
Methods: This cohort study selected 3347 patients with low ovarian response and divided them into four subgroups according to the POSEIDON criteria: Group 1 (n=947), Group 2 (n=778), Group 3 (n=164), and Group 4 (n=1458). Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the role of TCM treatment on the CLBR of patients with poor ovarian response to POSEIDON criteria.

This study aimed to develop and validate a predictive model for failure to collect oocytes in the Patient-Oriented Strategies Encompassing Individualized Oocyte Number (POSEIDON) Groups 3 and 4 during their first in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycle. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients in POSEIDON Groups 3 and 4 who underwent their first IVF/ICSI cycle at our center from January 2016 to December 2023. A total of 2,373 patients were randomly assigned to the training or validation cohort at a ratio of 6:4.

Background: In a global effort to assess expert perspectives on the use of recombinant gonadotropins, recombinant human luteinizing hormone (r-hLH) and recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (r-hFSH), a consensus meeting was held in Dubai. The key aim was to address three critical questions: What are the factors that influence follicle response to gonadotropins? Which categories of patients are most likely to benefit from LH supplementation? And what are the optimal management strategies for these patients?
Methods: A panel of thirty-six experts reviewed and refined the initial statements and references proposed by the Scientific Coordinator. Consensus was defined as agreement or disagreement by more than two-thirds (66%) of the panel members for each statement.

Purpose: For unexpected low-prognosis patients (Group 1 and Group 2) defined by POSEIDON criteria, how to maximize the live birth rate while controlling the multiple birth rate by tailoring the embryo transfer number and quality?
Methods: This was a retrospective study, including patients from Poseidon Group 1 (N = 672) and Group 2 (N = 503) who underwent cleavage-stage embryo transfer. Logistic regression was used for the comparative analysis of clinical outcomes among subgroups divided by the number and quality of embryos.
Results: For Group 1, compared to transferring a single good-quality embryo (GQE), a good-quality embryo with a poor-quality embryo (GQE + PQE) did not significantly improve the live birth rate, although increasing in value (40.

Objective: Cessation of gonadotropin stimulation might affect follicular growth in patients in POSEIDON groups 3 and 4, which are unresponsive to high-dose stimulation.
Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, data were extracted from the medical records of patients treated at the Acıbadem Maslak Hospital Assisted Reproductive Technologies Unit between November 2010 and December 2020. Eighty-five patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the study.
