David McLernon et al's recent article published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) titled Predicting the chances of a live birth after one or more complete cycles of in vitro fertilisation: population based study of linked cycle data from 113 873 women, concluded that:
- Key pre-treatment predictors of live birth were the woman’s age and duration of infertility
- Post-treatment predictors included number of eggs collected, cryopreservation of embryos, the woman’s age and stage of embryos transferred.
