To determine the risk of not being a poor responder in ovarian stimulation (OS) for in vitro fertilization (IVF) when ovarian reserve markers are discordant-one falling within Poseidon's criteria normal range (e.g., anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) ≥ 1.2 ng/mL or antral follicle count (AFC) ≥ 5), and the other in the poor ovarian reserve range.
A tri-center retrospective cohort study (2015-2017) involving women with discordant AMH and AFC values undergoing their first IVF/ICSI cycle using conventional OS (cOS, ≥ 150 IU/day of follicle-stimulating hormone). Discordant serum AMH and AFC values were defined according to Poseidon's criteria (AMH < 1.2 ng/mL and AFC ≥ 5 or AMH ≥ 1.2 ng/mL and AFC < 5). Poor ovarian response (POR) was < 4 retrieved oocytes. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to determine AMH and AFC cut-offs for non-POR. Logistic regression analysis evaluated factors associated with non-POR.
Out of 8797 patients who underwent assessment with both AMH and AFC, 1172 (13.3%) exhibited discordant values. Of these, 854 (72.9%) had ≥ 4 oocytes retrieved. Within this group, 726 (85.0%) had "low" AMH values, whereas 128 (15.0%) had "low" AFCs. An AFC of 6 had 77% sensitivity and 52% specificity (AUC = 0.700), while AMH of 1.19 ng/mL had 31% sensitivity and 85% specificity (AUC = 0.492) for non-POR. AFC and the use of recombinant gonadotropins were positive predictors of non-POR.
When serum AMH is < 1.19 ng/mL, but AFC is ≥ 6, there is a moderate likelihood of a non-POR during stimulation. Conversely, if AFC is < 5 but serum AMH is ≥ 1.19 ng/mL, the chances of non-POR are low. Among patients with discordant markers, AFC emerges as the primary predictor of oocyte yield.
当卵巢储备标志物不一致时,即一个标志物在波塞冬标准正常范围内(如抗苗勒管激素(AMH)≥1.2ng/ml 或窦卵泡计数(AFC)≥5),而另一个标志物在卵巢储备不良范围内,确定体外受精(IVF)卵巢刺激(OS)中不受精的风险。
这是一项涉及在接受常规 OS(≥150IU/天卵泡刺激素)的情况下进行首次 IVF/ICSI 周期的血清 AMH 和 AFC 值不一致的妇女的三中心回顾性队列研究(2015-2017 年)。根据波塞冬标准(AMH<1.2ng/ml 和 AFC≥5 或 AMH≥1.2ng/ml 和 AFC<5)定义血清 AMH 和 AFC 值不一致。POR 定义为取卵数<4 个。使用受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线确定非 POR 的 AMH 和 AFC 截断值。逻辑回归分析评估与非 POR 相关的因素。
在接受 AMH 和 AFC 评估的 8797 名患者中,有 1172 名(13.3%)存在不一致的数值。其中 854 名(72.9%)取卵数≥4 个。在这一组中,726 名(85.0%)AMH 值较低,而 128 名(15.0%)AFC 值较低。AFC 为 6 时,灵敏度为 77%,特异性为 52%(AUC=0.700),而 AMH 为 1.19ng/ml 时,灵敏度为 31%,特异性为 85%(AUC=0.492)非 POR。AFC 和重组促性腺激素的使用是非 POR 的阳性预测因素。
当血清 AMH<1.19ng/ml 但 AFC≥6 时,刺激期间不受精的可能性中等。相反,如果 AFC<5 但血清 AMH≥1.19ng/ml,不受精的可能性较低。在标志物不一致的患者中,AFC 是卵母细胞产量的主要预测因素。
