Impact of overweight and underweight on assisted reproduction treatment
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Underweight and overweight may affect reproduction and interfere with treatment of infertility. The purpose of this report is to describe the independent effect of body weight on treatment with IVF and ICSI. METHODS: Records of 5019 IVF or ICSI treatments in 2660 couples were reviewed. The influence of body mass index (BMI) on treatment outcome was examined, after accounting for differences in age and infertility diagnosis. RESULTS: The cumulative live birth rate within three treatment cycles was 41.4% [95% confidence interval (CI) 32.1-50.7] in obese women with BMI > or =30 kg/m2 and 50.3 (95% CI 47.0-53.7) in normal weight women with BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m2. Obesity was associated with an increased risk of early pregnancy loss occurring before 6 weeks gestation. Positive correlation between BMI and gonadotrophin requirement during stimulation and negative correlation between BMI and number of collected oocytes were observed. Underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m2) was not related to an impaired outcome of IVF or ICSI. CONCLUSIONS: Obesity is associated with lower chances for live birth after IVF and ICSI and with an impaired response to ovarian stimulation.

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.
