Abstract
To evaluate serum inhibin B as a predictor of poor ovarian response in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI) and to compare it with the performance of antimüllerian hormone (AMH). Meta-analysis. University hospital. Patients undergoing IVF. None. Poor ovarian response in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH). Fifteen studies on serum inhibin B and 12 studies on AMH were selected for meta-analysis. Both basal and stimulated inhibin B levels were statistically significantly lower in poor ovarian responders than in controls. The estimated summary receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves suggested that stimulated inhibin B was more accurate than basal inhibin B and AMH in the prediction of poor ovarian response. Both basal and stimulated serum inhibin B levels are lower in poor responders than in controls. Compared with AMH, stimulated inhibin B is a more accurate predictor of ovarian response in patients undergoing IVF, making it a potentially useful tool in future IVF practice.
