The role of serum vitamin D in patients with normal ovarian reserve undergoing the first IVF/ICSI cycle.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The debate over the impact of vitamin D in assisted reproduction continues. The purpose of our study was to assess embryo quality and pregnancy outcomes among groups with different levels of vitamin D after the first in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycle in patients with normal ovarian reserve (NOR).

Methods

Patients in this retrospective cohort study were divided into three groups: severe vitamin D deficiency group (25OH-D < 10 ng/ml), vitamin D deficiency group (10 ng/ml ≤ 25OH-D < 20 ng/ml), and non-vitamin D deficiency group (25OH-D ≥ 20 ng/ml). The primary outcome was clinical pregnancy, while the secondary outcomes were mature oocytes, oocyte fertilization, available cleavage embryos, available blastocysts, biochem
