Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the predictive capability of antral follicle count (AFC) and the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) on ovarian response in infertile women and to identify potential factors influencing retrieved oocytes.
Methods: A total of 2585 infertile women who underwent fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycles had been enrolled in this study. Spearman correlation was used to investigate the correlation between retrieved oocytes and AFC. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to study the parameters affecting the number of retrieved oocytes.
Results: Spearman correlation and multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the oocyte retrieval number was positively correlated with AFC ( = 0.651, p < 0.001) and AMH ( = 0.566, p < 0.001) and negatively correlated with age ( = -0.425, p < 0.001) and regimen selection ( = -0.233 p < 0.001). There was no significant correlation between retrieved oocytes and BMI (p = 0.913). ROC analysis revealed that AFC was a better predictor of adverse effects than AMH, BMI, and age (AUC: 0.916 VS 0.791, 0.575, 0.752). Meanwhile, AFC and AMH were comparable in predicting high response (AUC = 0.731 and AUC = 0.733, respectively).
Conclusions: This study showed that retrieved oocytes were positively correlated with serum AMH and AFC and negatively correlated with age and BMI. AFC had an ideal predictive performance in ovarian response prediction. The mechanism of the effect of AFC on ovarian response during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) needs to be further investigated.

Surrogate End Points for Overall Survival in Neoadjuvant Randomized Clinical Trials for Early Breast Cancer.

German Breast Group, Neu-Isenburg, Germany.
Purpose: To assess trial-level surrogacy value for overall survival (OS) of the pathologic complete response (pCR) and invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) for early breast cancer (BC).
Methods: Individual patient data of neoadjuvant RCTs with available data on pCR, iDFS, and OS were included in the analysis. We used the coefficient of determination from weighted linear regression models to quantify the association between treatment effects on OS and on the surrogate end points.
Ovarian function after COVID-19: long-term effects and vaccine safety in ART patients.

Ovarian Physiopathology Studies Laboratory, Institute of Experimental Biology and Medicine (IByME) - CONICET, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term impact of mild COVID-19 infection and COVID-19 vaccination on ovarian function in patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART). Specifically, we assessed ovarian outcomes between 9 and 18 months post-infection and investigated the effects of COVID-19 vaccines (inactivated virus and adenovirus) on reproductive parameters.
Methods: The study included two objectives: (a) examining ovarian function in post-COVID-19 patients (9-18 months post-infection) compared to a control group and (b) comparing reproductive outcomes in vaccinated versus unvaccinated patients.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) represents a common neoplasm within the female reproductive tract. The prognosis for patients diagnosed at advanced stages is unfavorable, primarily attributable to the absence of reliable screening markers for early detection. An elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) serves as an indicator of host inflammatory response and has been linked to poorer overall survival (OS) across various cancer types; however, its examination in OC remains limited.

Infertility has emerged as a significant global health concern. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) assists numerous infertile couples in conceiving, yet some experience repeated, unsuccessful cycles. This study aims to identify the pivotal clinical factors influencing the success of fresh embryo transfer of in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Background: Olaparib is a relatively new poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) administered to ovarian cancer (OC) patients with a complete or partial response to first-line chemotherapy. One of the metabolic side effects of olaparib is the disruption of glucose homeostasis, often resulting in hyperglycemia The study was a retrospective analysis of olaparib-induced hyperglycemia in OC patients with initial normoglycemia following the first, second, and third month of olaparib treatment METHODS: The study involved 32 OC patients, classified into three groups according to their Body Mass Index (BMI): normal BMI (BMI 18.5-24.
