smdsresearch.bsky.social @smdsresearch.bsky.social · 28/03/2026No increase in miscarriage for various subgroups in the study. Does the data here challenge the hypothesis of higher risk of miscarriage with poor sperm quality 🤔? #ESHREjc 010
smdsresearch.bsky.social @smdsresearch.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Another issue is how to communicate lower treatment success rates. Many still prefer to pursue biological parenthood despite lower odds of success #ESHREjc 010
smdsresearch.bsky.social @smdsresearch.bsky.social · 28/03/2026We would usually expect a higher FR for ICSI (indeed Vienna consensus includes this) as the denominator is mature eggs injected (rather than eggs inseminated…) 010
smdsresearch.bsky.social @smdsresearch.bsky.social · 28/03/2026I’m struggling with table 2 - specifically fert rate (FR). I assume control (N) couples and those undertaking treatment with donor sperm were treated with IVF, whereas OAT-S and azoospermia-H (and MMF) were ICSI? Yet there isn’t a significant difference between these with PSM 🤔? #ESHREjc 210
smdsresearch.bsky.social @smdsresearch.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Is anyone else blown away by the numbers treated at a single reproductive centre in this study? Nearly 15000 cycles in less than 5yrs!! 💪💪 #eshreJC Differences seen in outcomes are unlikely to be attributable to different lab practices… 121
