Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether there is a difference in procedure duration and time spent in the post anaesthesia care unit (PACU) between weekday (WD) and weekend (WE) oocyte retrievals (ORs). This was a retrospective cohort study of patients compared and stratified based on number of oocytes retrieved (1–10, 11–20, and >20). Student's t-test and linear regression models were used to assess the relationship between AMH, BMI, and a number of oocytes retrieved with the duration of procedure and total time spent in the PACU. 664 patients underwent OR of which 578 met inclusion criteria and were analyzed. There were 501 WD OR cases (86%) and 77 (13%) WE ORs. When stratified by number of oocytes retrieved, there was no difference in procedure duration or PACU time between WD vs. WE OR. Longer procedure times were associated with higher BMI (p = 0.04), AMH (p = 0.01) and oocytes retrieved (p < 0.01). Increased PACU times positively correlated with the number of oocytes retrieved (p = 0.04), but not AMH or BMI. While BMI, AMH, and number of oocytes retrieved are associated with longer intra-operative and post-operative recovery times, there is no difference in procedure or recovery time when comparing WD vs. WE procedures.

Abstract

Over the past several years, there has been a significant increase in the popularity of podcast use. The purpose of this study was to review the availability, content, and authorship of podcasts on the topic of fertility and to compare those hosted by physicians vs patients. A search for podcasts relating to the term ‘fertility’ was performed using 10 podcast platforms. Information relating to each podcast was recorded. Chi-square was used for comparison of proportions and the Mann-Whitney test for continuous variables. Of the 133 podcasts that met inclusion criteria, the most common subject was patient education (62%), followed by fertility awareness (30%), and Third Party Reproduction (13%). A majority of podcasts were hosted by patients (40%), holistic health professionals (28%), and physicians (16%). When comparing podcasts hosted by physicians vs. patients, there was no difference in overall content (p = 0.07), frequency of episodes (p = 0.77), number of episodes (p = 0.63) and number of listener ratings (p = 0.47). We conclude that many fertility podcasts exist with most hosted by patients describing their fertility experiences. Understanding the landscape of fertility podcasts will allow physicians to identify areas of interest and create content which educates and enhances connection with patients.
