Abstract

Background: This study aimed to determine the association of diametrical antral follicles with the ovarian response by Follicular Output Rate (FORT) ratio in 100 females undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI). This study selected 100 women undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH). The number of antral follicles (diameter of 3–10 mm) was calculated with two-dimensional vaginal sonography on days 1–3 of the cycle. Then, on a triggering day with human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), the number of follicles (with a diameter of 16–22 mm) and the ratio of FORT were determined. The correlation among FORT with age, antral follicle count (AFC), AFC ≤ 5, AFC > 5, number of preovulatory follicles (16–20 mm), number of metaphase II (MII) oocytes, body mass index (BMI), infertility period, and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) was assessed. Results: There was a significant correlation between FORT and total AFC, AFC > 5, number of preovulatory follicles (16–20 mm), and number of MII oocytes retrieved. There is no significant relationship between FORT and examined two variables (AMH and AFC ≤ 5). Multiple linear regression analysis showed no significant relationship between FORT and examined two variables (AMH and AFC > 5). There was a significant correlation between MII oocytes retrieved and age, total AFC, AFC ≤ 5, AFC > 5, number of preovulatory follicles (16–20 mm), and AMH. A significant positive relationship existed between MII oocytes retrieved and examined two variables (AFC ≤ 5 and AFC > 5). Conclusion: There was not much difference in the correlation between the AFC ≤ 5 and AFC > 5, and both positively correlated with the number of MII oocytes retrieved. © 2022, The Author(s).
