body mass index (BMI) and IVF cycle type (fresh vs frozen embryo transfer). P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.RESULTS: In the 606 unique patients, the median AMH values among women who had a PTB (n¼39) was 2.5 ng/mL ], compared to 2.7 ng/mL IQR [1.3-5.2] among those who had a term delivery (n¼567) (p¼0.92). Odds of PTB was not significantly different by AMH quartile after adjusting for age, bod and cycle type. Women with AMH in the 2 nd , 3 rd , and 4 th AMH quartiles had an adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for PTB of 0.80 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.32 -2.01), 0.50 (95% CI 0.18 -1.42) and 1.01 (95% CI 0.41 -2.48), respectively, when compared to the lowest quartile. Among women with PCOS (n¼90), there was no difference in odds of PTB (2 nd quartile -aOR 1.73, 95% CI: 0.26 -11.58; 3 rd quartile -aOR 0.57, (95% CI 0.18 -1.42), 4 th quartile -aOR 1.03; 95% CI 0.12 -8.64) compared to the lowest quartile. No differences were also seen when examining AMH quartiles and prevalence of PTB in fresh (n¼183) and frozen cycles separately (n¼423).CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that women with elevated AMH were not more likely to experience a spontaneous PTB after IVF than women with lower AMH values. Women with the diagnosis of PCOS were also not more likely to experience a PTB, however the sample size was limited. Larger cohort studies specifically in women with PCOS are needed to understand the relationship between AMH and preterm birth.
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.
