The treatments...
The 14th European IVF—monitoring (EIM) report presents the results of medically assisted reproduction treatments including reproductive technology (ART) cycles and intrauterine insemination (IUI) initiated in Europe during 2010: are there changes trends compared with previous years? Despite some fluctuations number countries reporting, overall ART has continued to increase year by year, while pregnancy rates 2010 remained similar those reported 2009, transfers multiple embryos (three or...
Are there any changes in the treatments involving ART and IUI initiated Europe during 2013 compared with previous years?An increase overall number of cycles resulting from a higher countries reporting data was evident, pregnancy rates (PRs) remained stable those reported 2012, transfers multiple embryos (3+) lower than ever before yet delivery (DRs) unchanged, activity success were similar to last years.Since 1997, have been collected 16 manuscripts, published Human...
The 13th European in vitro fertilization (IVF)-monitoring (EIM) report presents the results of treatments involving assisted reproductive technology (ART) initiated Europe during 2009: are there any changes trends compared with previous years?Despite some fluctuations number countries reporting data, overall ART cycles has continued to increase year by and, while pregnancy rates 2009 remained similar those reported 2008, transfers multiple embryos (3+) and delivery declined.Since 1997, data...
Abstract STUDY QUESTION What are the reported data on cycles in ART, IUI and fertility preservation (FP) interventions 2016 as compared to previous years, well main trends over years? SUMMARY ANSWER The 20th ESHRE report ART shows a progressive increase treatment cycle numbers Europe, with decrease number of transfers more than one embryo causing reduction multiple delivery rates (DR), higher pregnancy DR after frozen replacement (FER) fresh IVF ICSI cycles, while outcomes for remained...

Abstract STUDY QUESTION What are the data and trends on ART IUI cycle numbers their outcomes, fertility preservation (FP) interventions, reported in 2018 as compared to previous years? SUMMARY ANSWER The 22nd ESHRE report shows a continued increase of treatment cycles children born Europe, decrease transfers with more than one embryo further reduction twin delivery rates (DRs) 2017, higher DRs per transfer after fresh IVF or ICSI (without considering freeze-all cycles) frozen (FET) pregnancy...
What are the data on ART and IUI cycles, fertility preservation (FP) interventions reported in 2017 as compared to previous years, well main trends over years?
Abstract STUDY QUESTION Which clinical and embryological factors should be considered to apply double embryo transfer (DET) instead of elective single (eSET)? SUMMARY ANSWER No or factor per se justifies a recommendation DET eSET in IVF/ICSI. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY is correlated with higher rate multiple pregnancy, leading subsequent increase complications for both mother babies. These include preterm birth, low birthweight, other perinatal adverse outcomes. To mitigate the risks associated...
How did coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) impact on medically assisted reproduction (MAR) services in Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic (March to May 2020)?MAR services, and hence treatments for infertile couples, were stopped most European countries a mean of 7 weeks.With outbreak Europe, non-urgent medical care was reduced by local authorities preserve health resources maintain social distancing. Furthermore, ESHRE other societies recommended postpone ART pregnancies as 14 March 2020.A...
Abstract Study question What are the reported data on cycles in ART, IUI and fertility preservation interventions 2020 as compared to previous years what main trends over years? Summary answer: author The 24rd ESHRE report ART shows a progressive increase treatment cycle numbers Europe, small decrease number of transfers (IVF + ICSI) with more than one embryo trend decreasing multiple delivery rates, outcomes for similar years. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Since 1997, aggregated generated by...
Abstract STUDY QUESTION What are the current national medically assisted reproduction (MAR) data collection systems across EU Member States, and how can these countries contribute to a unique, cycle-by-cycle registry for European Monitoring of Medically Assisted Reproduction (EuMAR) project? SUMMARY ANSWER The study identified significant variation in MAR practices with differences types, methods, reporting requirements; EuMAR project emerges as an opportunity enhance standardization improve...
Can risks associated with novelties in assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs) be assessed a systematic and structured way?An ART-specific risk assessment tool has been developed to assess the development of ART (EuroGTP II-ART).How implement new is well-described literature. The successive steps should include testing animal models, executing pre-clinical studies using supernumerary gametes or embryos, prospective clinical trials finally, short- long-term follow-up on health offspring. A...

Summary answer AUTHOR: The 22th ESHRE report ART shows a progressive increase treatment cycle numbers Europe, small decrease number of transfers (IVF + ICSI) with more than one embryo trend decreasing multiple delivery rates, higher pregnancy rates after FER fresh IVF ICSI cycles, outcomes for similar years. is...
Abstract More than four decades have passed since the birth of first infant conceived through use assisted reproductive technology (ART). During this time, ART has increased chance for millions people who trouble conceiving to achieve a healthy pregnancy and birth. In early years IVF/ICSI, clinicians may transferred all available embryos into uterus because low overall treatment success at time. However, with medical technical improvements in ART, transfer multiple led greater number...
What is the prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies in triage-negative patients undergoing ART and fertility care providers after lockdown release throughout 2020?
To evaluate the implementation of coding systems in medically assisted reproduction (MAR) centres European Union (EU).Our data show that a significant number MAR use Single Code (SEC), but it also shows certain limitations to coding.Traceability and identification tissue cells used for clinical application are extremely important as is one key aspects quality safety both donors recipients. Patients well tissues move across continent far beyond, hence uniform system was very much needed. The...
Abstract Study question Investigating estradiol in relation with other sperm parameters might reveal new correlations which would help our understanding of male idiopathic infertility Summary answer Statistical significance was found a series E2 levels and sperm, hormonal health What is known already Male rising major concern, counts decreasing by 50-60% the recent decades. The causes for are very different (genetic, systemic, neurological, infections, trauma, etc.), but at least 44% cases...
I was thrilled to attend the Euro Good Tissue Practices (EUROGTP II) dissemination seminar this year. felt that event in Sitges, Spain, a great opportunity take part an important project, sentiment which remained throughout and until end of event. A sensation absence arose after realising project had ended, but then realised: is really end, or just prelude right direction? This positive thought alleviated any negative feelings. EUROGTP II is, always will represent, at least for me if not...

The COVID-19 pandemic had profound negative effects on millions of couples affected by infertility and in need to resort assisted reproductive technologies. There is no consensus over the optimal way moment screening triage-negative asymptomatic patients staff. We present SARS-CoV-2 antibodies’ (IgM, IgG) seroprevalence 516 30 fertility care providers. sampling for serological assays took place from lockdown release throughout second half 2020 (17.05 - 01.12.2020).
