Body mass and probability of pregnancy during assisted reproduction treatment: retrospective study
Open accessAbstract
Being underweight or overweight has an adverse effect on reproduction.1,2 Overweight women have a higher incidence of menstrual dysfunction and anovulation, possibly because of altered secretion of pulsatile gonadotropin releasing hormone, sex hormone binding globulin, ovarian and adrenal androgen, and luteinising hormone and also because of altered insulin resistance. The prevalence of obesity in infertile women is high, but there is no conclusive evidence that extremes of weight are associated with a low rate of pregnancy in women receiving assisted reproduction treatment. This study examined whether body mass index (weight (kg)/(height (m)2)) is associated with reduced fecundity (the probability of achieving at least one pregnancy during treatment) in women receiving assisted reproduction treatment.

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.
