Trends in 'poor responder research: lessons learned from RCTs in assisted conception

CONCLUSIONS Overall, the majority of published trials on POR suffer from methodological flaws and are, thus, regarded as being high-risk for bias. The same trials have used a variety of definitions for their poor responders and a variety of interventions for their head-to-head comparisons. Not surprisingly, discrepancies are also evident in the findings of trials comparing similar interventions. Based on the identified deficiencies, this novel type of ‘methodology and clinical’ review has introduced custom recommendations on how to improve future experimental research in the ‘poor responder’ population.
