Patients opting to Oocyte Cryopreservation have low rate of return for oocyte utilization: JAMA
In a groundbreaking cohort study using data from the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) national database, researchers have unveiled intriguing patterns in the utilization of cryopreserved oocytes for family building. The study revealed a low overall rate of return to utilize previously vitrified oocytes despite an increasing number of patients pursuing oocyte cryopreservation.
The study results were published in the journal JAMA Network Open.
Poor ovarian response (POR) to stimulation has the potential to influence patients' future inclination or necessity to use cryopreserved oocytes for family planning. These insights, gleaned from data provided by the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART), emphasize the importance of personalized counseling and additional research into the factors that shape decision-making regarding the utilization of oocytes. Hence, researchers conducted a study, spanning from January 2014 to December 2020, that sheds light on the association between ovarian response to stimulation and the likelihood of patients returning for oocyte utilization following planned oocyte cryopreservation (OC) along with the time elapsed from vitrification to warming.
