Impact of Thyroid Autoimmunity in euthyroid women on the outcomes of In Vitro Fertilization.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Infertility is inadequately acknowledged as a problem in developing countries. Thyroid Autoimmunity (TAI) has been neatly investigated for its association with unfavorable pregnancy and reproductive consequences. We aim to evaluate Clinical Pregnancy Rate (CPR) as a primary outcome following In Vitro Fertilization/Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (IVF/ICSI) in women with Thyroid Autoimmunity (TAI).

Methods

A Retrospective cohort study included 584 women who underwent IVF/ICSI treatment between November 2012 and April 2017 in Orient Hospital, Damascus, Syria. Patients were tested for TAI before IVF/ICSI procedure.
