MEN’S BODY MASS INDEX IN RELATION TO EMBRYO QUALITY AND CLINICAL OUTCOMES IN COUPLES UNDERGOING IN VITRO FERTILIZATION
Extracted findings (3)
Among couples undergoing ICSI, the odds of live birth in couples with obese male partners were 84% (95% CI 10%-97%) lower than the odds in couples with male partners with normal BMI (p-trend=0.04), an
Effect: decline; 84% lower odds of live birth (OR 0.16); CI: 95% CI 3%-90% (equivalently, odds reduction 10%-97%)
Men's BMI was unrelated to live birth rate per embryo transfer (p-trend=0.42) in the overall combined IVF/ICSI analysis, and this result was unchanged after further adjustment for women's BMI.
Effect: null; p-trend=0.42
No significant associations were found between men's BMI and the proportion of poor quality embryos on day 3 (p-trend=0.67), slow embryo cleavage rate (p-trend=0.17), or accelerated embryo cleavage ra
Effect: null; p-trend=0.67 (poor quality embryos)
