Pregnancy and offspring outcomes after artificial insemination with donor sperm: A retrospective analysis of 1805 treatment cycles performed in Northwest China.

ABSTRACT: Artificial insemination with donor sperm (AID) is a widely used procedure, but its success rate in China remains uncharacterized. This study investigated the factors associated with occurrence of clinical pregnancy and live birth and evaluated the birth outcomes in the offspring after AID in Northwest China.We retrospectively reviewed the results of 1805 AID courses in 1046 couples during 2006-2015. We analyzed whether the number of AID cycles, age of the female patient, and number of sperm with progressive motility were associated with the occurrence of clinical pregnancy and live birth. We also evaluated the birth outcomes in the offspring.Among the 1805 cycles, 447 (24.8%) resulted in clinical pregnancy and 384 (21.3%) resulted in a live birth. Miscarriage occurred in 57 of the 447 case
