| description | Background:
Many couples do not have adequate documentation following fertility treatments.
Aims:
To conduct a survey to understand the information needs of assisted reproductive technology physicians when assessing the reasons affecting treatment outcomes after intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
Settings and Design:
Online survey.
Materials and Methods:
Anonymous online survey of 14 parameters related to IUI treatment and 21 parameters related to IVF treatment, followed by recommendation of selected parameters for routine documentation.
Statistical Analysis Used:
Frequency distribution calculation of responses.
Results:
For IUI, total motile sperm count and post-wash sperm count and motility and for IVF, the quality and number of gametes, embryo number and morphology were the most important parameters.
Conclusion:
The study creates recommendations for the minimum information desirable in the fertility treatment documentation given to the couple undergoing treatment. |
