Impact of maternal education level on live birth rate after in vitro fertilization in China: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess the association between maternal education level and live birth after in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Methods

We studied women who underwent the first cycle of fresh or frozen-thawed embryo transfer between 2014 and 2019. Women were divided into four educational categories according to the level of education received (elementary school graduate or less, middle school graduate, high school graduate, college graduate or higher). The live birth rate was compared between different education level groups. We used logistic regression to analyze the association between maternal education level and live birth after IVF.

Results

We studied 41,546 women, who were grouped by maternal educational level: elementary school graduate or less (n = 1590), middle school
