Abstract
subjects had normal ovarian response with retrieval of 4–15 oocytes in the absence of OHSS. Ovarian vascularity (vascularisation index, VI; flow index, FI; and vascularisation flow index, VFI), total antral follicle count (AFC), and mean ovarian volume (OV) were measured. ANOVA and Kruskal Wallis test were used to compare the groups dependent on the distribution of the data. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to compare the predictive value of these variables against age and basal FSH for the development of poor response and OHSS. Results: The ovarian VI, FI, and VFI were similar in all three groups (Table 1). Compared to controls, AFC and OV were significantly lower (P < 0.001) in poor responders and significantly higher (P < 0.001) in subjects who developed OHSS. Multiple regression analysis showed the AFC was the only significant (P < 0.001) ultrasound predictor of poor or exaggerated ovarian response and that the 3D ovarian vascular indices offered no additional information.
