A previous caesarean section is not a risk factor for tubal abnormalities in the infertile population.

In this retrospective cohort study of 1716 cases of women undergoing infertility treatment between the years 1999-2012, we aimed to identify whether parturients with a previous surgical history are at a higher risk for tubal abnormalities as determined by hysterosalpingography (HSG) in this infertile population. Amongst the study population, tubal obstruction was identified on HSG in 15.8% of patients with no past history of an abdominal surgery and 16.

Male factor infertility may be associated with a low risk for tubal abnormalities.

This study assessed the association of an abnormal hysterosalpingography (HSG) with clinical characteristics and infertility investigation results in 1359 women who underwent HSG as part of their infertility work-up. A normal HSG result was found in 1031 tests (75.9% of all HSG tests).

Cumulative clinical pregnancy rates after COH and IUI in subfertile couples.

To evaluate the influence of female age and cause of infertility on the outcome of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) and intrauterine insemination (IUI), we studied 2717 COH cycles in 1035 subfertile couples. The cumulative clinical pregnancy rates were 39% and 58% after three and six COH cycles, respectively. The cumulative pregnancy rate significantly decreased with maternal age and differed by cause of infertility.
