Note: aRR = adjusted risk ratio; RR = risk ratio.

a

Risk ratios were adjusted for age, race, body mass index, previous pregnancy, current pregnancy, diagnosis of ovulatory disorder, uterine factor, tubal factor, endometriosis, diminished ovarian reserve, unexplained infertility, number of oocytes retrieved, GnRH antagonist use for pituitary suppression, and embryo-banking cycle.

b

Includes embryo-banking cycles, fresh autologous cycles where no transfer was attempted or where no embryos were transferred, and fresh autologous cycles where embryo transfer occurred. Because pregnancy is not possible after an embryo-banking cycle, current pregnancy is not in the model that includes embryo-banking cycles.

c

Excludes cancelled cycles in which a retrieval was not performed.

d

Because of missing data, aRR of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome was not calculated for number of oocytes retrieved or use of a GnRH antagonist in embryo-banking cycles.
