Effectiveness of DHEA supplementation in IVF pregnancies based on preconception AMH levels

DHEA effects	Reference
Pregnancies/live births at all AMH levels; Not even undetectable levels of AMH, therefore, preclude pregnancies/live births;	[31]
Pregnancies lowest a at AMH levels <0.1 (undetectable) -0.4 ng/mL, intermediate b at AMH 0.41-1.05 ng/ML and high c ≥ AMH 1.06 ng/mL;	[31]
Spontaneous miscarriage rates lowest d at AMH ≤ 0.4 ng/mL and 1.06 ng/mL; Highest e at AMH 0.41-1.05 ng/mL;	[31]
Live births rates uniformly low f at AMH <0.1-1.05 ng/mL and high g at AMH ≥ 1.6 ng/mL;	[31]
AMH increases in parallel with length of DHEA supplementation;	[32]
This increase is more pronounced in younger POA than older DOR patients;	[32]
Improvement in AMH levels with DHEA supplementation is highly predictive of pregnancy success	[32]
