Values are expressed as mean ± SD or numbers (percentages).
Significant differences between two groups, p < 0.05.
Significant differences between two groups, p < 0.01.
Biochemical pregnancy rate: biochemical pregnancy cycles/embryo transfer cycles; clinical pregnancy rate: clinical pregnancy cycles/embryo transfer cycles; implantation rate: no. of implantation gestational sac/no. of total embryos transferred; multiple pregnancy rates: multiple pregnancy cycles/clinical pregnancy cycles; early miscarriage rate: early miscarriage cycles/clinical pregnancy cycles; ectopic pregnancy rate: ectopic pregnancy cycles/clinical pregnancy cycles; live birth rate: live birth cycles/clinical pregnancy cycles.
OHSS, ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome.
