Age-specific probability of live birth with oocyte cryopreservation: an individual patient data meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To estimate age-specific probabilities of live birth with oocyte cryopreservation in nondonor (ND) egg cycles.

Design

Individual patient data meta-analysis.

Setting

Assisted reproduction centers.

Patient(s)

Infertile patients undergoing ND mature oocyte cryopreservation.

Intervention(s)

PubMed was searched for clinical studies on oocyte cryopreservation from January 1996 through July 2011. Randomized and nonrandomized studies that used ND frozen-thawed mature oocytes with pregnancy outcomes were included. Authors of eligible studies were contacted to obtain individual patient data.

Main outcome measure(s)

Live birth probabilities based on age, cryopreservation method, and the number of oocytes thawed, injected, or embryos transferred.
