Abstract

Background & Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common causes of infertility in women worldwide. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a method used to increase the chance of fertilization. This study was conducted with aim to assess the factors associated with IVF success in women with PCOS. Materials & Methods: This retrospective study was performed on women aged 18 to 46 years with PCOS undergoing IVF in the Infertility Research and Clinical Center, Yazd, Iran, from April 2016 to February 2017. The success of IVF was evaluated in two stages with a β-hCG blood test and ultrasound imaging. The variables of age, number of total embryos, quality of embryos, fertilization rate, number of transferred embryos, and endometrial thickness were measured. Results: In this study, 600 women were included. Of these, 213 and 144 patients had positive pregnancy by β-hCG blood test and ultrasound imaging, respectively. The number of total embryos (OR=1.88) and A-quality embryos (OR=1.81) were significantly associated with positive β-hCG test. Regarding pregnancy confirmation by ultrasound imaging, A-quality embryo (OR=3.75), and B-quality embryo (OR=2.68) had a significant relationship with fertilization (OR=8.63). Conclusion: Age, the quality of embryos and fertilization rate can predict IVF success in PCOS patients. However, no significant relationship was found between endometrial thickness and the number of transferred embryos and pregnancy response. Further studies are needed to obtain more understanding in this regard. © 2024, Farname Inc. All rights reserved.
