Table 4.

Relationship between time from ICSI to ROA and time from ROA to second polar body extrusion in ROA oocytes that exhibited second polar body extrusion

Time from ROA to second polar body extrusion (h)
<0.5 <1 <2 <3 ≥3
Time from ICSI to ROA (h) <3 2 (15.3%) 2 (30.8%) 6 (76.9%) 3 (100%)
3 to <4 5 (3.2%) 17 (14.1%) 94 (74.4%) 30 (93.6%) 10 (100%)
4 to <5 5 (4.1%) 13 (14.9%) 70 (72.7%) 24 (92.6. %) 9 (100%)
≥5 1 (5.0%) 1 (10.0%) 15 (85.0%) 2 (95.0%) 1 (100%)

Actual numbers refer to the number of oocytes, % values refer to cumulative second polar body extrusion rates by time from ICSI to ROA; r = 0.071, P = 0.21
