Özet
To investigate whether serum anti-mullerian hormone (AMH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), or antral follicle count (AFC) are predictive for clinical pregnancy in women who underwent IVF cycles at the age of 35 and older A total of 240 consecutive women who underwent IVF cycles at the age of 35 and older were enrolled in this crsoss- sectional study. Pregnant and nonpregnant women were compared. The median AMH level of pregnant women was higher than non-pregnant women [3.20 (0.63-9.60) vs 1.15 (0.01-14.90) ng/ml, p < 0.001]. On logistic regression analysis, AMH was an independent predictor of clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) (OR 1.353; 95 % CI 1.141-1.605; P < 0.001). After controlling for the other independent variables (the number of retrieved oocytes, AFC and age), the significant association between AMH and clinical pregnancy rate remained strong (OR 1.677; 95 % CI 1.216-2.311; p = 0.002) on multivariate logistic regression analysis. AMH is an effective measure of quantitative ovarian reserve and it can predict ovarian response to controlled stimulation for advanced age women. The CPR tends to increase as AMH increases.
