The Predictive Levels of Serum Anti-Müllerian Hormone and the Combined Index of the Number of Retrieved Oocytes and Good-Quality Embryos in Advanced-Age Infertile Women

The primary objective of the study was to assess the values of serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels and the combined index for the prediction of number of oocytes retrieved (NOR) and number of good-quality embryos (GQE) in infertile women undergoing IVF/ICSI treatment. A group of 521 infertile...

description The primary objective of the study was to assess the values of serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels and the combined index for the prediction of number of oocytes retrieved (NOR) and number of good-quality embryos (GQE) in infertile women undergoing IVF/ICSI treatment. A group of 521 infertile women aged 21–46 years were recruited as subject in this study. Serum AMH, hormones, and antral follicle count (AFC) were measured. The infertile women were categorized into three groups: 21–34 years (reproductive age), 35–39 years (reproductive age), and 40–46 years (advanced-age infertile). The predictive accuracy of variables was analyzed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. AFC, AFC/age ratio, AMH/age ratio, and ovarian response prediction index (ORPI) decreased gradually, while AMH decreased significantly with increase in age. Moreover, NOR and GQE were positively correlated with AFC, AMH, AFC/age ratio, AMH/age ratio, and ORPI (P<0.001). A statistical significance was observed in predicted oocyte retrieval including AMH, AMH/age ratio, and ORPI between 21–34 years and 35–46 years; especially in the 35–46 years group, these variables reached a “high” grade in the diagnostic accuracy because area under curve (AUC) ranged from 0.982 to 0.988 significantly. No statistical significance was observed for FSH, AMH, AFC, and related combined index predicting GQE. The predictive value of AFC and AFC/age ratio was limited regarding oocyte retrieval; however, AMH, AMH/age ratio, and ORPI concurrently had an excellent value for predicting NOR in reproductive-age women, especially in advanced-age infertile women.
