Does paternal age affect the live birth rate in donor oocyte cycles? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

While delayed parenthood is increasing worldwide, the effect of paternal age on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes remains unclear. The egg donation model appears to be relevant to studying the independent impact of paternal age on clinical outcome, but the available studies are heterogeneous and contradictory. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the relationship between paternal age and live birth rate (LBR) in egg donation cycles.

Methods

A systematic search of the literature was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library from inception to June 30, 2021. All studies on egg donation cycles where LBR is reported according to male age were included. Study selection, bias assessment, and data extraction were performed by two independe
