Abstract Study question Does AMH serum levels correlate with the recovered mature oocytes in similar way among infertile, healthy, and oncological patients? Summary answer AMH serum levels correlated well with the number of mature oocytes in infertile, healthy, and oncological patients What is known already AMH is a protein produced by granulosa cells from pre-antral follicles and uses as biomarker of ovarian reserve. The aim of ovarian stimulation in the IVF setting or fertility preservation is obtaining metaphase II oocytes. The value of serum AMH to predict the number of mature oocytes has not been study in a comparative way among infertile patients vs. healthy and oncological population Study design, size, duration Retrospective study of the AMH serum levels and number of recovered mature oocytes in oocyte vitrification cycles from April 2017 to June 2023. We included 78 patients with cancer, 119 healthy patients and 668 infertile patients undergoing oocyte vitrification for fertility preservation or as accumulation of oocytes strategy Participants/materials, setting, methods This single centre study included Infertile patients ≤ 42 with gynaecological pathology (endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, low ovarian reserve, and/or tubal factor), any type of cancer and healthy women demanding social fertility preservation. We excluded IVF healthy patients (normal patients with exclusively male factor). AMH serum level was measured before ovarian stimulation. We analysed the probability of obtain ≥ 8 mature oocytes considering as normal AMH (1.2 ng/mL). Ethical approval was obtained for this stud Main results and the role of chance IVF patients were older and had higher body mass index than the other two groups. AMH serum level (ng/mL) was similar among groups; in IVF patients (1.88 [1.67-2.09]); oncological patients (2.25 [1.85-2.65]), and healthy women (2.5 [2.2-2.8]). (p= 0.064). Ovarian stimulation was longer and more FSH units were employed in IVF patients. Oestradiol level at the oocyte maturation triggering was lower in oncological patients. The number of MII oocytes was significantly lower in IVF patients (6.1 [5.9-6.4]) compared with oncological and healthy patients (9.2[8.0-10.5]; 9.9 [9.0-10.8], respectively). AMH level correlated well with the number of recovered mature oocytes and similar among groups. The Odds Ratio to recover ≥ 8 mature oocytes considering as normal AMH (1.2 ng/mL) showed a probability 8.3 times higher in healthy patients, but only 0.3 times in IVF patients and 0.5 times in oncological patients. A OR: 9.1 was observed for obtain ≥ 8 mature oocytes between normal vs low AMH. The area under the curve in the ROC curve for AMH was 0.7191 Limitations, reasons for caution This study had limitations in the sample size and differences in ovarian stimulation protocol as oncological patients in hormone-dependent cancer received letrozole while conventional ovarian stimulation with FSH was performed in IVF and healthy patients. IVF patients’ group was heterogeneous in the aetiology of infertility Wider implications of the findings This study remarks the use of AMH in different conditions: infertility, oncological, and healthy status. Although no differences were found in correlation with the number of mature oocytes, the probability to obtain ≥ 8 mature oocytes with normal AMH was higher in healthy women compared with infertile patients Trial registration number 2306-VGO-128-EM
