In the first published demonstration that the antral follicle count (AFC) predicts live birth after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), we found that an AFC of >or=11 was a strong positive predictor of live birth. The AFC should not be used to exclude women from IVF treatment; however, it is a very useful instrument for patient counseling and determining appropriate treatment protocols and gonadotropin dosing in IVF cycles.
在首次发表的关于窦卵泡计数（AFC）可预测体外受精-胚胎移植（IVF-ET）后活产的研究中，我们发现AFC≥11是活产的强有力的阳性预测指标。AFC不应被用于将女性排除在IVF治疗之外；然而，它在患者咨询以及确定IVF周期中合适的治疗方案和促性腺激素剂量方面是一种非常有用的工具。
