Ovarian reserve as a predictor of cumulative live birth.

CONCLUSION: Our prediction model estimates a couple's individualised probability of achieving a live birth after their first complete cycle of IVF using all known pre-treatment predictors. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION: The study population were only those eligible for NHS funded IVF treatment which have strict ovarian reserve criteria. Exclusion of those with very low egg reserve is likely to influence the predictive capacity of out model. Furthermore, our model was developed using cycle data from one unit and thus its predictive capacity has not been assessed on an independent cohort of women. We therefore welcome external geographical validation of our model prior to its use in clinical practice. PMID: 32645642 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
