Correlation analysis of clinical and medical history records of married couples receiving infertility treatment

Introduction. Despite the availability of general principles and regimens for ovarian stimulation on the assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs, an individual situational modification is required in each specific case.Objective. To optimize the ovarian stimulation protocols on the ART program based on the clinical and medical history records of the married couple.Materials and methods.The clinical and medical history records, as well as the stimulation cycle parameters of 60 married couples were analysed. The married couples enrolled in this study were diagnosed with infertility caused by tubo-peritoneal (44 married couples), male (5 married couples), combined factor (6 married couples), as well as external genital endometriosis combined with a male factor (3 married couples), and tubo-peritoneal factor (2 married couples). All married couples underwent IVF/ICSI procedures under the gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) protocol and ovarian stimulation on day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle.Results. All married couples were divided into two groups: 38 couples with a negative implantation result and 20 married couples with positive implantation results. The surgical removal of fallopian tubes has been shown to be inversely correlated with the duration of infertility. The use of hCG positively correlates to the ratio of mature oocytes and oocyte-cumulus complexes (OCC) and the onset of pregnancy. A reduced percentage of morphologically healthy sperm with an overall high concentration of sperm in the ejaculate can be interpreted as fertile sperm.Conclusions. During ovarian stimulation on the ART program, special attention should be paid to the duration of stimulation, the types of interventions for triggering final oocyte maturation and the total gonadotropin dose. A differentiated approach to conducting the surgical removal of fallopian tubes is required. The reduced percentage of morphologically healthy sperm with an overall high concentration of sperm in the ejaculate serves as a favourable prognostic factor for the outcome of ART programs.
