Couple-related factors of ART outcome
Purpose Of Investigation:
Although assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are the current mainstay of infertility treatment, several mechanisms leading to ART failure are still unclear. The aim of the present study was to determine possible health-related risk factors in both counterparts of the couple affecting the ART outcome.
Material And Methods:
The authors recruited 100 consecutive couples who were undergoing ART procedure. All subjects filled out a health questionnaire, and the presence of bacterial vaginosis in females and/or prostatitis in males was evaluated.
Results:
Success of the ART procedure was 30.2%, failure being most significantly related to woman's age (OR = 0.24, 95% CI 0.09-0.66, p = 0.003) and excess body weight (OR = 0.08, 95% CI 0.01-0.63, p = 0.002). Male factors, previous conceptions, and presence of children increased the likelihood of ART success. Bacterial vaginosis and prostatitis did not significantly compromise the effectiveness of the ART procedure in this study.
Conclusion:
In 100 consecutive infertile couples scheduled for ART procedure, pregnancy was achieved in 30.2%, with female age and overweight and previous children from male side being the most significant factors affecting the ART outcome.

Outcomes of Glycolysis
Cellular respiration can occur aerobically (with oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen). In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration starts with glycolysis and continues with pyruvate...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)
The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...
Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
