Abstract
Cumulative Pregnancy Rates and Live Birth rates are indicators of success in IVF Programmes.They allow a better estimation of patient's chances of having a child and enable comparsions between centres and modalities of treatment.
Methods: A ten years cohort study was done with patients undergoing their first assisted reproductive technique cycle.Patients were followed till delivering live births or discontinuation of treatment. All IVF and ICSI Cycles and Cycles with cryopreserved embryos and FET were included.
The analysis assumed that couples who did not return for subsequent treatment cycles did not have the same chances of success as those who had continued treatment.
Results:A total of 650 women were treated between 2008 and 2015 .During the period 150 babies were born. Women already with a live birth re-enterd as a "new patient".in the analysis. For 650 patients under observation with 1950 cycles. the Cumulative Live Birth Rates (CLBR) was 35% after 03 cycles,45% after 06 cycles and 55% after 12 cycles. The mean live birth rate from one fresh cycle and its subsequent cryocycle was 25%. Our analysis also shows ART can reach increased success rate if cycles were continued with the same patients.
Conclusions: Most couples with infertility problems can be treated successfully if they continue treatments. Thereby ART can reach natural fertility rate.
