Effect of follicle size on pregnancy outcomes in patients undergoing first letrozole-intrauterine insemination
European Journal of Medical Research(2024)
Abstract
Letrozole has been proven to be an effective method for inducing ovulation. However, little attention has been paid to whether the lead follicle size will affect the success rate of intrauterine insemination (IUI) with ovulation induction with alone letrozole. Therefore, we hope to investigate the effect of dominant follicle size on pregnancy outcomes on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) day of the first letrozole-IUI. A retrospective cohort study design was employed. We included patients with anovulation or unexplained infertility undergoing first IUI treatment with letrozole for ovarian stimulation. According to the dominant follicle size measured on the day of hCG trigger, patients were divided into six groups (≤ 18 mm, 18.1–19.0 mm, 19.1–20.0 mm, 20.1–21.0 mm, 21.1–22.0 mm, > 22 mm). Logistic models were used for estimating the odds ratios (ORs) with their 95
