Annals of the Academy of Medicine Singapore 17 (2) : 247-250. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | 138 treatment cycles of GIFT were carried out in couples with mainly unexplained infertility, endometriosis and male factor. The overall pregnancy rate was 24.6%, abortion 29.2%, multiple pregnancy 20.6% and ectopic pregnancy 0%. Four oocytes seem to be the optimal number of oocytes to be transferred. Patients with male factor infertility fared the worse in comparison with the other groups. Successful in-vitro fertilization of excess eggs did not correlate with a positive outcome of the GIFT procedure. | Source Title: | Annals of the Academy of Medicine Singapore | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/131294 | ISSN: | 03044602 |
