Ovarian reserve and IVF outcomes in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) mainly affects people during reproductive age. However, it is unclear whether IBD might be associated with impaired ovarian reserve in female patients or with in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes.

Methods

This systematic review and meta-analysis included articles from inception to May, 2022. Random-effect model was applied to calculate the standardized mean differences (SMDs) and odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs). Studies comparing the ovarian reserve or IVF outcomes of patients with IBD with the population were considered. To be included in this study, necessary measurements such as OR, relative risk (RR), SMD or hazard ratio (HR) or any necessary information to calculate them were provided in the arti
