Background:Bacterial vaginosis (BV)is a polymicrobial clinical syndrome resulting from replacement of the normal hydrogen peroxide producing Lactobacillus sp. BV is the most common lower genital tract disorder among women of reproductive age (pregnant and non-pregnant) and the most prevalent cause of vaginal discharge and malodor. Objectives:To study the role of asymptomatic bacterial vaginosis on outcome in patients undergoing ICSI. Patients and Methods:This prospective study was undertaken in the High Institute of Infertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproductive Techniques / Al-Nahrain University. During the period from September 2017-April 2018. A total of 100 infertile women .All of them were underwent controlled ovarian hyper stimulation for intra cytoplasmic sperm injection cycle. Antagonist oocyte maturation used as ovulation induction protocol in all the cases. Assessment of oocyte maturation and embryo quality is done to the all the cases, bacterial vaginosis smear was collected on the day of oocyte retrieval. B.V. smear diagnosis by Amsel's Criteria and Nugent's Scoring. Results: TThere was no significant difference in mean age of pregnant and non-pregnant ladies, 29.40 ±6.47 years versus 30.78±6.84 years, respectively (P= 0.333).In addition the frequency of women under 35 years age was comparable in the two groups with no statistical significant difference, 34 (79.1%) versus 33 (73.3%), respectively (P = 0.528). Wide variation and non-normal distribution was the role followed by the duration of infertility concerning sub-fertile women participating in this study. However, no significant difference was observed in the duration of infertility between pregnant and non-pregnant ladies, 6.00 (5.00) years versus 6.00 (5.00) years (P = 0.289). Comparison of basal hormonal levels between pregnant and non-pregnant groups revealed no significant difference despite the presence of some minor differences in mean hormonal levels between the two groups (P> 0.05). Comparison of oocytes characteristics between pregnant and non-pregnant ladies was conducted and revealed no significant difference in mean total number retrieved oocyte (TNO), ruptured oocytes (RO), abnormal oocyte (AO), germinal vesicle oocyte (GV), metaphase I oocyte and metaphase II oocytes (P > 0.05), table Mean total number retrieved oocyte (TNO), ruptured oocytes (RO), abnormal oocyte (AO), germinal vesicle oocyte (GV), metaphase I oocyte and metaphase II oocytes was 10.81 ±4.95 versus
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
