In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer as related to endogenous luteinizing hormone rise or human chorionic gonadotropin administration

After ovarian stimulation with clomiphene citrate combined with human menopausal gonadotropin for in vitro fertilization, the appearance of a spontaneous luteinizing hormone (LH) surge before fulfillment of the minimal criteria of follicular maturity (at least one follicle > 19 mm and serum estradiol [E2] > 400 pg/ml/follicle > 17 mm) is associated with reduced pregnancy rates. In these cases, follicles are smaller and serum E2 values are lower at the time of the LH surge. Oocyte recovery rate is reduced, embryonic anucleate fragments are more frequently observed, and the level of luteal progesterone on day 4 after oocyte retrieval is lower. Hyperandrogenic patients are more prone to display such premature spontaneous LH surge. We concluded that in case of an untimely LH rise, laparoscopy for oocyte retrieval should be cancelled.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Devenir obstétrical et périnatal des patientes sans couverture sociale.

The number of pregnant women uncovered by medical insurance is increasing in the maternity of Saint-Pierre Hospital (44% increase over a 3 year period). During the academic year 92-93, this situation was present in 9.8% of the mothers; 98% of these patients were foreigners. The majority of pregnancies were not or poorly followed. Admissions occurred very often in emergency situations. The lack of prenatal care in this population with a very low socio-economic level led to a six-fold increase in perinatal mortality after exclusion of congenital malformations (58.4% versus 8.7%). This high mortality rate was mainly due to extreme prematurity (birthweight between 500 and 1500 g).SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
