Note: Analyses conducted using generalized linear models for fertilization rate and embryo score (reporting least-squares mean and 95% confidence interval) and Poisson regression with robust error variance for pregnancy and live birth (reporting frequency [%] and relative risk and 95% confidence interval). All models adjusted for male and female age, partner BMI, and parity. Missing one observation for fertility rate and two observations for live birth. Day-5 embryo score includes the 528 couples (72%) who had a day-5 embryo score.
