Abstract

Objective – To compare the differents donor insemination technics. Material and method – Analysis of the published studies about donor insemination which value the effectiveness of Intra Cervical Insemination (ICID) and Intra Uterine Insemination (IUID), the interest of ovulation induction, the possible complications, and the cost-effectiveness ratio. Results – The meta-analysis of the Cochrane data base (10 comparative studies IUID versus ICID, 2568 donor insemination cycles) lead to a pregnancy rate per cycle (PRC) 17.77 % with IUID versus 7.68 % with ICID. The odds ratio is 2.63 (CI from 1.85 to 3.73). With these PRC, the direct cost per evolutive pregnancy is 54780 F with ICID and 25675 F with IUID. Conclusion – If it is possible to propose ICID to patient with an excellent regularity of ovulation. IUID with ovulation induction by gonadotropins is today the gold standard, and more especially as the law restrict the number of donor inseminations. Indeed, the IUID is two or three times more effective than ICID, consume the half of sperm straws, use a semen of moderate quality, there is no complication provided that the cycle is cancelled if there is more than two mature follicles and the cost-effectiveness ratio is greatly in favour with IUID.
