Serum Lipid Levels and Treatment Outcomes in Women Undergoing Assisted Reproduction: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate associations between serum lipid levels and treatment outcomes in women undergoing assisted reproduction.

Materials and methods

The study included 2011 women who underwent in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection with fresh embryo transfer. Serum lipid evaluation included total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglycerides (TG). Ovarian stimulation outcomes included endometrial thickness and the number of oocytes retrieved, and reproductive outcomes included live birth, clinical pregnancy, and miscarriage.

Results

Higher HDL-C quartiles were associated with more oocytes retrieved. Lower TC (quartile 1 odds ratio [OR] 1.59 [1.21-2.08], quartile 3
