  Objective: We assessed the effectiveness of a clinical decision support tool to reduce follicle-stimulating hormone dosage and eliminate the need for an ultrasound after day 5 of an individual superovulation cycle. Design: Test participants undergoing superovulation were compared with retrospective control subjects. Subjects: 22 Test and 22 control participants included normal and poor responders and patients with the polycystic ovarian syndrome. Intervention: A clinical decision support tool was used to forecast stimulatory hormone dosing for an individual cycle based on follicle size distribution on day 1 and day 5. Main outcome measures: Cumulative stimulatory hormone doses, number of oocytes, numbers of MII oocytes, and high-quality embryos obtained during t.. View More»
