ICSI INDICATIONS - POSSIBLE INFLUENCE OF OOCYTE QUALITY ON THE RESULTS

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is theoretically the first line treat ment of many forms of severe male infertility, but the prognostic fact ors are to be determined according to the indications. Thus the result s of two clinical teams working with the same biological Unit show sta tistically different pregnancy rates per oocyte pick-up (15,9% versus 35,7% - p < 0,02) and per transfer (16,9% versus 34,9% - p < 0,03). Th ey could by explained by female factors such as age and ovarian respon se to stimulation, which probably have influence on embryonic quality.
