Optimal Embryo Selection: The Irreplaceable Role of the Embryologist in an Age of Advancing Technology.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Time-lapse incubators allow for ongoing evaluation of embryos without culture condition disruption. The use of time-lapse incubation has been shown to improve outcomes either by improving overall conditions or providing additional information to aid in embryo selection for transfer. Time-lapse incubators can also utilise morphokinetic models to rank embryos based on morphokinetic parameters. We sought to compare a morphokinetic model for embryo comparison to traditional morphologic evaluation.

Aims

The aim of the study is to compare a morphokinetic model for embryo comparison to traditional morphologic evaluation.

Settings and design

This is a retrospective cohort design.

Materials and methods

Embryos cultured in a time-lapse culture system that had
