Success Rate of Inseminations Dependent on Maternal Age? An Analysis of 4246 Insemination Cycles.

ABSTRACT: Intrauterine insemination (IUI) has latterly become less important in reproductive medicine. The aim of this retrospective analysis was to identify and evaluate the success rates of repeated insemination cycles in women of different ages. All women who underwent intrauterine insemination in the Wiesbaden Fertility Clinic between 1998 and 2010 were included in the analysis. Additional inclusion criteria were: not more than 45 years old, previous FSH stimulation and slight to moderate subfertility of the male partner. A total of 4246 insemination cycles in 1612 patients were included in the analysis. The average number of IUI cycles per patient was 2.24 (1-14). Patient age ranged from 19 to 45 years (mean: 33.9 years). Logistic regression analysis showed a drop in pregnancy rates with increasing age (p?=?0.000). However, for the first three cycles the pregnancy rates for women aged 40 and 41 did not differ from those of women aged between 35 and 39 years. Overall pregnancy rates were stable in women up to the age of 40, even after several insemination cycles (7.5 and 10?%). Insemination is therefore still an effective procedure in selected patients. Stable pregnancy rates were recorded even after more than 3 cycles. After 3 cycles, the success rates for women aged 40 and 41 did not differ from those of women below the age of 40.

Project description:BackgroundA retrospective cohort study using a 10 year artificial insemination (AI) and cow reproductive performance data was conducted to study the success rate of AI; associations between effectiveness of AI and breed, AI season and, number of service per conception, and economic impact of failure of FSC in Dessie town, Dessie zuria and Kutaber districts. A total of 3480 dairy cows' AI and reproductive performance records which were performed between 2003 and 2013 in the three selected districts of South Wollo were used. The economic losses and costs for cows that failed to conceive at their first AI associated with the larger number of days open were estimated.ResultThe prevalence of conception has a statistically significant difference between breeds of cows (P = 0.019). The non-return rate for first service was 58.54%. The median days to first service (DFS), inter-service interval (ISI) and gestation length (GL) were 126, 30 and 278 days respectively. Whereas, the mean + SD days open, calving interval (CI), number of inseminations (NOI) and number of services per conception (NSPC) were 147.2 ± 60.26, 424.5 ± 60.55, 1.14 ± 0.38 and 1.15 ± 0.39 respectively. Based on AI season there was a significant difference in conception between winter and spring (P = 0.021). There is a 45.04 days extension in the mean calving to conception interval in cows that did not conceive at their first AI but conceived by 2nd and 3rd AI than in cows that did conceive at their first AI. A total of 21,665.3 ETB extra costs was spent on reproductive treatment and other management for cows that failed to conceive at their first AI but conceived by second and third service. In cows that did not conceive totally the owner losses on average 473.7 ETB per cow per day extra costs until the cows will be culled.ConclusionTherefore to increase the conception rate and decrease the economic loss the owners of the dairy cows should supervise the cows regularly and should be trained on how to identify cows on estrous, the AI technicians should be trained to conduct the AI service accurately.

Project description:ObjectiveTo estimate the risk of a multiple gestation pregnancy in ovarian stimulation intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles when stratified by patient age and mature follicle number.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study at a single private practice fertility center of IUI cycles performed from 2004 to 2017. Intervention(s) were ovarian stimulation and IUI if postwash total motile sperm count was more than 8 million. Mature follicles were defined as 14 mm or more as measured on the day of ovulation trigger. Main outcomes and measures were rates of clinical pregnancy and multiple gestation.ResultsWe identified 24,649 women who underwent a total of 50,473 IUI cycles. Increasing the number of mature follicles from one to five at the time of IUI in women younger than age 38 years increased the clinical pregnancy rate from 14.6% to 21.9% (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.6, 95% CI 1.4-1.9), almost entirely from a marked increase in multiple gestations per cycle from 0.6% to 6.5% (aOR 9.9, 95% CI 6.9-14.2). There was little increase in singleton pregnancies per IUI (14.1-16.4%) regardless of mature follicle number. The per-pregnancy twin and higher-order multiple gestation risk significantly increased (3.9-23.3%, P<.01 and 0.2-10.6%, P<.01, respectively) when comparing one with five mature follicles present at the time of IUI (P<.01). In women younger than age 38 years with more than three follicles present, more than one quarter of all pregnancies were multiples. Similar findings occurred in women aged 38-40 years. In women older than age 40 years, up to four follicles tripled the odds of pregnancy (aOR 3.1, 95% CI 2.1-4.5) while maintaining a less than 12% risk of multiple gestation per pregnancy and a 1.0% absolute risk of multiples.ConclusionCaution should be used in proceeding with IUI after ovarian stimulation when there are more than two mature follicles in women younger than age 40 years owing to the substantially increased risk of multiple gestation without an improved chance of singleton clinical pregnancy.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Decreased endometrial thickness (EMT) has been suggested to be associated with reduced birthweight of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) newborns. Considering the differences in ovarian stimulation degree and laboratory procedures between IVF/ICSI and IUI treatment, we aim to investigate whether EMT has any influence on IUI infant outcomes as well. METHODS:This was a retrospective cohort study of 1016 patients who had singleton livebirths after IUI treatment cycles from January 2008 to December 2018 at a tertiary-care academic medical center in China. Patients were categorized into three groups by the 10th and 90th percentile of peak EMT: ?7.6, 7.7-13.0 and???13.1?mm. The primary outcomes of the study were preterm birth (PTB), low birthweight (LBW) and small-for-gestational age (SGA). Multiple regression analyses were performed after controlling for a variety of potential confounders. RESULTS:No significant differences were found among the three groups in gestational age, birthweight and birthweight Z-score. Compared with the EMT 7.7-13.0?mm group, the incidences of PTB, LBW and SGA were 5.5% (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.33-2.01), 6.4% (aOR 1.44, 95% CI 0.58-3.58) and 7.3% (aOR 1.21, 95% CI 0.53-2.76) in the EMT ?7.6?mm group, respectively. Similarly, EMT ?13.1?mm was not significantly associated with risks of PTB (aOR 0.63, 95% CI 0.24-1.65), LBW (aOR 0.57, 95% CI 0.17-1.95) and SGA (aOR 0.73, 95% CI 0.28-1.92). The odds of other adverse neonatal outcomes, including macrosomia, large-for-gestational age and major congenital malformations, did not show significant differences before and after adjustment in both EMT ?7.6 and???13.1?mm groups. CONCLUSIONS:EMT is not independently associated with adverse perinatal outcomes in IUI cycles. This novel finding would provide reassuring information for IUI patients with thin endometrial linings regarding their neonatal health. However, further prospective cohort studies with larger datasets are needed to confirm the conclusion.
