Objective To identify efficient predictors of clinical outcomes of in vitro fertilization(IVF).Methods Two hundred and one women undergoing their first IVF cycle were measured for antral follicle count(AFC) and endometrial thickness via ultrasound. On day 2 or3 of the menstrual cycle and the day of human chorionic gonadotropin administration,serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH), luteinizing hormone(LH), estradiol,and progesterone were determined. The difference of ovarian response and clinical pregnancy rates were measured.Results Basal FSH was the single best predictor of ovarian response in women <35years old before the initiation of treatment, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC) of 0.752. For women ≥35 years old, none of parameters was a single good predictor of IVF pregnancy. For women older than 35 years, adding body mass index(BMI) with AFC and basal FSH improved prediction of ovarian response(AUC=0.859). Prediction of clinical pregnancy for women ≥ 35 years was improved either by combining only AFC and basal FSH(AUC=0.757) or adding BMI to the combined AFC and FSH(AUC=0.722).Conclusion Combining AFC, basal FSH, and BMI was the best predictor of ovarian response and clinical pregnancy after IVF in women ≥35 years.
