Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of hydrosalpinx on the establishment of pregnancy after IVF-ET. DESIGN: Metaanalysis. SETTING: University medical center. PATIENT(S) AND INTERVENTION(S): All published reports (n=13) and abstracts (n=10) in English that examined the relation between hydrosalpinx and IVF-ET were included in the analysis. The metaanalysis was performed by first calculating the odds ratios for each trial and then combining them to obtain a pooled estimate of the odds ratio and a 95% confidence interval. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Clinical pregnancy. RESULT(S): A total of 5,569 cycles was reviewed in the group without hydrosalpinx, and a total of 1,144 was reviewed in the group with hydrosalpinx. The clinical pregnancy rate was approximately 50% lower in patients who had hydrosalpinx. Similarly, the implantation rate was decreased by 50%. These effects were observed also in thawed ET cycles. The abortion rate was more than twofold higher in patients who had hydrosalpinx. CONCLUSION(S): This metaanalysis suggests that hydrosalpinx is associated with a reduced chance of implantation and an increased risk of pregnancy loss.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
