The serum follicle stimulating hormone-to-luteinizing hormone ratios can predict assisted reproductive technology outcomes in women undergoing gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonist protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The basal follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)/luteinizing hormone (LH) ratio is a useful predictor of ovarian response. In this study, we investigated whether the FSH/LH ratios during the entire controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) can be used as effective predictors of outcomes in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment using the gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) protocol.

Methods

A total of 1,681 women undergoing their first GnRH-ant protocol were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. A Poisson regression model was used to analyze the association between the FSH/LH ratios during COS and embryological outcomes. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to determine the optimal cutoff values for poor r
