Abstract:
The aim of this systematic review was to identify clinical decision support algorithms (CDSAs) proposed for assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) and to evaluate their effectiveness in improving ART cycles at every stage vs traditional methods, thereby providing an evidence-based guidance for their use in ART practice. A literature search on PubMed and Embase of articles published between 1 January 2013 and 31 January 2024 was performed to identify relevant articles. Prospective and retrospective studies in English on the use of CDSA for ART were included. Out of 1746 articles screened, 116 met the inclusion criteria. The selected articles were categorized into 3 areas: prognosis and patient counseling, clinical management, and embryo assessment. After screening, 11 CDSAs were identified as potentially valuable for clinical management and laboratory practices. Our findings highlight the potential of automated decision aids to improve in vitro fertilization outcomes. However, the main limitation of this review was the lack of standardization in validation methods across studies. Further validation and clinical trials are needed to establish the effectiveness of these tools in the clinical setting.
