Outcome of patients with endometriosis in assisted reproduction: results from in-vitro fertilization and oocyte donation

A retrospective analysis of our in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and oocyte donation programmes was carried out in order to gain clinical knowledge of the factors involved in the aetiology of the endometriosis-associated infertility. Comparison between the IVF outcomes from 96 cycles in 78 patients with...

Description
Summary:A retrospective analysis of our in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and oocyte donation programmes was carried out in order to gain clinical knowledge of the factors involved in the aetiology of the endometriosis-associated infertility. Comparison between the IVF outcomes from 96 cycles in 78 patients with tubal infertility and from 96 cycles in 59 women with endometriosis indicates that endometriosis patients have a poor IVF outcome in terms of reduced pregnancy rate per cycle (P< 0.0004), reduced pregnancy rate per transfer (P< 0.002), and reduced implantation rate (P
