Article Synopsis
- The objective of the study is to evaluate how well ovarian stimulation (OS) promotes follicular development and retrieves quality oocytes by examining antral follicle count (AFC) and its relationship to oocyte outcomes.
- The study emphasizes the need to enhance the key performance indicators (KPIs) used to assess OS effectiveness, introducing new metrics like "early FORT" and "modified FORT" for better evaluation of follicular growth and oocyte retrieval rates.
- The researchers advocate for incorporating these refined KPIs into clinical practices to improve the assessment of OS and its impact on ovarian follicular development, ultimately aiming for individualized treatments in assisted reproductive technology.

Clinical infertility is the inability of a couple to conceive after 12 months of trying. Male factors are estimated to contribute to 30-50% of cases of infertility. Infertility or reduced fertility can result from testicular dysfunction, endocrinopathies, lifestyle factors (such as tobacco and obesity), congenital anatomical factors, gonadotoxic exposures and ageing, among others.

Infections may act with variable impact on the physiopathology of the reproductive organs, determining infertility or reducing the outcomes of assisted reproduction technology. The aim of this narrative review is to describe the existing evidence regarding the pathogens with a supposed or recognized role in reproductive medicine. Viral hepatitis, as well as HIV, can reduce sperm quality.

Despite the considerate progress to which assisted reproduction technology (ART) has been subject since 1978, some issues remain unresolved. Notably, the clinical management of patients with a poor ovarian response is still a challenge in everyday practice, frustrating to both the patient and the fertility expert. Poor ovarian responders (PORs) embody 9-24% of patients undergoing ovarian stimulation, meaning that up to one in four patients conceals a poor reproductive prognosis.

Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) is an advanced test of sperm function that is utilized during male fertility evaluation. Recently, a guideline was published highlighting the detrimental impact of SDF on sperm function identifying practice-based clinical indications for SDF testing. This review illustrates the commonly utilized SDF measurement techniques and explores the current evidence behind their utility in clinical practice.
