Timing of Dexamethasone Initiation During IVF/ICSI and Live Birth Outcomes

A retrospective cohort study of 644 controlled ovarian stimulation cycles at a tertiary reproductive center, analyzing the association between dexamethasone timing and live birth rates. The dataset was created by Ling Zhang and last updated on 2026-05-13. It includes cycles classified by DXM initiation timing and analyzes ovarian response, embryo development, and pregnancy outcomes.

Use Cases

• Predicting live birth outcomes based on dexamethasone initiation timing during ovarian stimulation.
• Analyzing associations between adjuvant medication timing and embryo development metrics.
• Conducting propensity score-based analyses to address confounding in retrospective clinical data.

Strengths

• Includes 644 controlled ovarian stimulation cycles, providing a substantial clinical sample.
• Employs multivariable logistic regression and propensity score weighting to address confounding.
• Analyzes multiple clinical endpoints including live birth, neonatal outcomes, and total usable embryos.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect selection bias inherent to retrospective, physician-discretion treatment studies.
