Impact of reproductive history on in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcome: evidence from the German IVF Registry
Fertility and Sterility(2003)
Abstract
To evaluate the effect of reproductive history on the outcome of different procedures in assisted reproductive technologies (ART) comparing IVF, ICSI, and cryopreserved embryo transfer (CPE).Prospective registration of ART cycles and their outcomes.One hundred three reproductive programs in Germany.Women undergoing 174,909 ART procedures from January 1998 through December 2000.Data analysis of reproductive history collected by the German IVF Registry; multiple logistic regression modeling of success rates.Effect of type of conception and outcome of previous pregnancies, duration of infertility, female's age, and type of ART on clinical pregnancy rate per retrieval. Odds ratios with 95% CIs are reported.More than one previous pregnancy was negatively correlated with outcome of IVF, ICSI, or CPE. This association disappeared when female age was restricted to a maximum of 35 years. A previous pregnancy achieved by spontaneous conception had less impact on outcome of IVF, ICSI or CPE outcome than did a previous assisted conception. Previous live births and miscarriages demonstrated a statistically significant increase compared with ectopic pregnancies and induced abortions.Reproductive history must be considered when counseling subfertile couples. Female age, method of conception, and previous pregnancy outcome have a significant effect on IVF, ICSI, and CPE outcome.
