Pregnancy outcomes - all patients
Characteristic | rFSH | hMG-HP | Chi-square | p-value |
---|---|---|---|---|
Total cycles started | 22665 | 7965 | ||
Number (%) of total cycles with oocytes retrieved | 22,467 (99.13%) | 7,958 (99.91%) | 54.73 | <0.0001 |
Cycles (%) with positive pregnancy test as percent of cycles started | 7595 (33.53%) | 2553 (32.05) | 5.72 | 0.0168 |
Cycles (%) with positive pregnancy test as percent of cycles with oocyte retrieved | 7595 (33.81% per ET) | 2551 (32.06% per ET) | 8.09 | 0.0044 |
Any clinical pregnancy as percent of cycles with oocyte retrieved | 7423 (33.04) | 2550 (32.04) | 56.43 | 0.1037 |
Pregnancies ending in spontaneous abortion as percent of cycles with oocyte retrieved† | 1303 (6.16%) | 478 (6.02%) | 0.19 | 0.6625 |
Note: Cycles with positive pregnancy test were defined as cycles with a biochemical pregnancy and any clinical pregnancy. Clinical pregnancies were defined based on data entries 'clinical pregnancy', 'ongoing pregnancy', 'live birth', and 'spontaneous abortion'. Pregnancies ending in spontaneous abortion were defined as those with data entries 'spontaneous abortion' and 'miscarriage'. † Due to lack of data on this outcome, only data for Germany and Denmark were considered here to calculate the percentage (N = 21,160 for rFSH subgroup; N = 7,940 for hMG-HP subgroup).
