Obesity-related health status is a better predictor of pregnancy with fertility treatment than body mass index: a prospective study.

摘要: This study assessed whether an obesity-related health status instrument (Edmonton obesity scoring system - EOSS) or body mass index (BMI) better predicted pregnancy rates in overweight women undergoing fertility treatments. A prospective cohort was conducted on patients with a BMI ≥ 25 kg m(-2) treatment cycle (ovulation induction, superovulation, vitro fertilization). Obesity-related including blood pressure, work, history, and functional assessment were assessed. total of 101 included the average age 36.3 ± 4.2 years mean 31.8 5.2 . EOSS found to be statistically predictive rate/cycle (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.27-0.94; P = 0.03), whereas not 0.95, 0.86-1.05). similar trend seen for clinical started. However, association between did reach statistical significance 0.53, 0.06 OR 0.98, 0.62 respectively). Our results demonstrated that after treatments than BMI. In fact, every stage increased by one unit, odds approximately halved. multi-centre powered live birth is warranted establish effective pre-fertility management women.
