Anti muellerian hormone serum levels in women with endometriosis: A case–control study
Abstract
Objective To compare the anti muellerian hormone (AMH) serum levels in women with and without endometriosis. Design A case-control study Setting Women's General Hospital, Linz, Austria. Patient(s) Our study included a total of 909 patients undergoing in vitro fertilisation/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatment or consulting our specific endometriosis unit. After proofing the exclusion criteria, 153 of these patients with endometriosis (study group) were matched with 306 patients undergoing IVF/ICSI treatment because of a male factor (control group). Interventions None. Main outcome measures AMH serum level. Results Mean AMH serum level was significantly lower in the study than in the control group (2.75 + or - 2.0 ng/ml vs. 3.46 + or - 2.30 ng/ml, p Conclusion Lower AMH serum levels and an association with the severity were found in women with endometriosis. Physicians have to be aware of this fact. Because of the expected lower response on a controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH), AMH serum level should be measured to optimise the dose of gonadotropin treatment previous to a COH, especially in women with severe endometriosis.

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.
