Oocyte degeneration in a cohort adversely affects clinical outcomes in conventional IVF cycles: a propensity score matching study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Oocyte degeneration was mostly described in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles; there is no report showing the relationship between oocyte degeneration and clinical outcomes in conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. This retrospective study using the propensity score (PS) matching method aimed to explore whether the presence of oocyte degeneration in conventional IVF cycles would affect the sibling embryo development potential and clinical outcomes.

Methods

Patients with at least one oocyte degenerated after short-term insemination and stripping were defined as the degeneration (DEG) group, while patients with no oocyte degenerated were defined as the non-degeneration (NONDEG) group. The PS matching method was used to control for pote
