Different serum anti-Mullerian hormone concentrations are associated with oocyte quality, embryo development parameters and IVF-ICSI outcomes.

摘要

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between different basal serum levels of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and oocyte-embryo quality and IVF outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two hundred and nine infertile women who underwent in vitro fertilization treatment with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) between January 2009 and February 2011 were included in the study. Mean age, BMI, FSH, E(2), inhibin B, duration of infertility, total gonadotropin dose, antral follicle count, morphology of all oocytes, percentage of MII, early cleavage rate, the number of good quality embryos in transfer and ongoing pregnancy (>12 weeks) rates were evaluated. RESULTS: Six groups were formed according to the percentiles as <10% (90% (>8.06 ng/ml; n = 21). Central granulation, cytoplasmic granulation, oocyte postmaturity, percentage of embryos, early cleavage and percentage of transferred good quality embryos were significantly different in five groups (ANOVA test). Ongoing pregnancy rate (PR) was the lowest in <10% (9.5%), and the highest in 50-75% group (39.3%). (P = 0.040) CONCLUSION: Different AMH levels may predict the quality of oocytes, presence of postmaturity and nucleoli Z score, early cleavage and ICSI outcomes.
