Abstract

The aim of the study – analysis of the effectiveness of the use of different programs of ART in women with various forms of infertility according to a retrospective analysis of medical records.

Materials and Methods. The effectiveness of ART programs has been conducted through a retrospective analysis of the cause and structure of infertility, the use of different methods of ART, the onset of pregnancy and childbirth in women with various forms of infertility, including poor responders during 2013–2016.

Results and Discussion. It is proved that the number of women with different forms of infertility and, accordingly, ART cycles is growing steadily. There was an increase in the frequency of both female and male infertility with approximately the same percentage, an increase in women with infertility of the older age category was observed. Moreover, despite the development and application of ART programs especially for women of the older age group, the number of diagnosed clinical pregnancies does not differ significantly for the period 2013–2016.

Conclusion. The results of the study show that the likelihood of pregnancy has an inverse relationship with a woman's age and her ovarian reserve, which may be a predictor of low ovarian response to controlled ovarian stimulation in ART programs.
