Factors Related to the Number of Antral Follicles on InVitro Fertilization (IVF)

Abstract

Objective: To determine factors which are related to the number of
 antral follicles on infertile patients.
 Method: This cross sectional study was conducted in In-Vitro Fertilization
 (IVF) clinic of Graha Tunjung, Sanglah hospital, Bali. All fertile
 patients following the IVF program were calculated the number
 of antral follicles in both ovarian using transgene USG. This sample
 was recruited by random sampling from April 1st, 2001 to April 30th,
 2011. We analyzed the data using Chi square test through SPSS for
 Windows 17.0 version.
 Result: Of 102 samples, the mean of patients’ age was 32.9% (SD
 4.6) years old. From 72 patients (70.6%) experienced above 3 years
 of infertile period, the primary infertile was on 69 patients (67.7%).
 There was a relationship between patients’ age and the number of
 antral follicles significantly (prevalence ratio (PR) 1.41; 95% CI 1.11-
 1.79). Meanwhile, the number of antral follicles and type of infertile
 (PR 1.02; 95% CI 0.76-1.37) also infertile period (PR 0.95; 95% CI
 0.72-1.27) were not associated significantly.
 Conclusion: Patients’ age has an association with the number of antral
 follicles on IVF.
