IVF outcomes of women with discrepancies between age and serum anti-Mullerian hormone levels.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To determine the effects of age and the serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes, especially among young women with low serum AMH levels and older women with high AMH levels.

Methods

This study was a cohort study in which a total of 9431 women aged 20-51 years who were undergoing their first IVF cycles were recruited. Ovarian response parameters included the number of retrieved oocytes, the number of 2 pronuclear zygotes (2PN), and the frequency of good-quality embryos (GQE). Pregnancy outcomes included the clinical pregnancy rate (CPR), live birth rate (LBR), miscarriage rate (MR), and cumulative CPR and LBR (CCPR and CLBR).

Results

Among women under 35 years of age, the ovarian response, CPR, CCPR, LBR and CLBR (p
