Antral follicle assessment as a tool for predicting outcome in IVF--is it a better predictor than age and FSH?

Abstract：

PURPOSE:The purpose of this study is to determine if baseline antral follicle assessment may serve as additional information in predicting in vitro fertilization outcome. METHODS:Prospective, descriptive preliminary study of in vitro fertilization outcome. From July 1998 to July 1999, 224 patients underwent antral follicle assessment (follicle 2-6 mm in diameter) on baseline of the planned, stimulated in vitro fertilization cycle. The outcomes were analyzed with respect to antral follicle assessment (< or = 6 or > 6), basal cycle day 3 follicle stimulated hormone (< or = 10 or > 10 IU/L) and maternal age (< or = 35 or > 35 years). RESULTS:The clinical pregnancy rate was significantly higher in the group with baseline antral follicle > 6 compared to that in the group with antral follicle < or = 6 (51% vs. 19%, respectively). Controlling for patient age, and basal follicle stimulated hormone, the pregnancy rate was significantly higher in the group with antral follicle > 6 compared to that in the group with antral follicle < or = 6. The cancellation rate was significantly increased with advancing maternal age, elevated basal follicle stimulated hormone levels, and baseline antral follicle < or = 6. The cancellation rate was significantly higher in the group with antral follicle < or = 6 compared to that in the group with antral follicle > or = 6 (33% vs. 1%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS:In vitro fertilization outcome is strongly correlated with both maternal ages, basal cycle, day 3 follicle, stimulated hormone, and antral follicle assessment. Antral follicle assessment was a better predictor of in vitro fertilization outcome than were age or follicle stimulated hormone. Antral follicle assessment may provide a marker for ovarian age that is distinct from chronological age or hormonal markers.
