- Numerous studies have reported on the potential value of time-lapse variables for prediction of embryo viability. However, these variables have not been evaluated in combination with conventional morphological grading and patient characteristics. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of patient characteristics and embryo morphology together with morphokinetic variables to predict live birth after day 2 transfer. This retrospective analysis included 207 transferred embryos from 199 couples cultured in a time-lapse system up to day 2 of development. Good prediction of live birth or ranking of embryos with respect to live birth potential was achieved with early cleavage combined with fragmentation grade at 43-45 h. These variables were selected as the strongest predictors of live birth, as assessed by stepwise logistic regression, and additional inclusion of morphokinetic variables did not improve the model significantly. Also, neither logistic regression models nor classification tree models with morphokinetic variables were able to achieve equally good prediction of live birth, as measured by AUC on an external data set not used for model development. In conclusion, for fresh day 2 transfers early cleavage in combination with fragmentation grade at 43-45 h should be considered when selecting between good quality embryos.

- In a randomized controlled study aiming to test the effectiveness of preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) in women of advanced maternal age, embryos diagnosed as chromosomally abnormal and those with no diagnosis were fixed for reanalysis. The aim of this study was to determine how well the chromosomal constitution of one biopsied blastomere reflects the status of the entire embryo.

- PURPOSE: Studies in mice and humans have shown that Follicular Fluid - Meiosis Activating Sterol (FF-MAS) induces meiotic maturation of immature oocytes in vitro. A multicenter, prospectively randomised study evaluated chromosomal status of embryos from FSH/hCG primed human immature oocytes, cultured with or without FF-MAS. METHODS: Denuded immature oocytes (n=365) were randomly allocated into inert control, FF-MAS 5 microM or 20 microM. Seventy +/-2 hours after ICSI on matured oocytes, all cleaved embryos were fixed for fluorescence in situ hybridisation analysis. RESULTS: Only 15% of oocytes resulted in cleaved embryos. GV oocytes matured at significantly lower rates (14% and 7%) in the two FF-MAS groups compared to the inert control group (47%). High rates of chromosomal abnormalities were found in all groups. CONCLUSION: Immature oocytes showed poor development with high rates of embryo chromosomal abnormalities. Exposure to FF-MAS in the concentrations, duration and/or formulation used in this study did not improve the results.
