Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to explore the clinical significance of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) combined with follicular output rate (FORT) in women of late reproductive age. METHODS: A total of 258 women (age range: 35-45 years old) who underwent pre-pregnancy examination in our hospital were collected as the research group (RG), among whom 184 were treated with in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Concurrently, 126 women aged 24-30 years who came to our hospital for pre-pregnancy examination were enrolled as the control group (CG). AMH and FORT were detected and compared between the two groups to analyze the clinical significance of the two in women of late reproductive age. RESULTS: Compared with the CG, AMH was decreased statistically in the RG (P<0.05). AMH was statistically higher in the regular menstrual group than in the menstrual disorder group (P<0.05), and FORT was statistically higher in the pregnancy group in comparison with the non-pregnancy group (P<0.05). AMH decreased with age (P<0.05), while FORT did not correlate with any notable difference among the three subgroups (P>0.05). High, medium and low AMH groups showed no significant difference in the number of retrieved oocytes and transplantable embryos, as well as FORT (P<0.05). A lower AMH level, was correlated with fewer number of retrieved oocytes and transplantable embryos, and higher the FORT level. Significant differences were present among the high, middle and low FORT groups regarding the number of retrieved oocytes and transplantable embryos, the clinical pregnancy rate and AMH level (P<0.05). The lower the level of FORT was, the less the number of retrieved oocytes and transplantable embryos was, the lower clinical pregnancy rate was, and the higher the AMH level was. CONCLUSIONS: AMH decreases gradually in women with an increase of age, and FORT can effectively predict pregnancy outcome. AMH detection combined FORT is of great significance in predicting the ovarian reserve function in women of late reproductive age. AJTR
