HCG Trigger Effects on IUI Pregnancy Outcomes in China, 2012-2017

Jipeng Wan from Shandong Provincial Hospital conducted a retrospective cohort study of 5610 first natural intrauterine insemination cycles with donor sperm from 2012 to 2017. The dataset compares pregnancy outcomes between hCG-triggered and spontaneous ovulation groups, with main measures including live birth and clinical pregnancy rates. The analysis was restricted to normo-ovulatory women without tubal infertility to control for confounding factors.

Use Cases

• Compare clinical pregnancy rates between hCG-triggered and spontaneous ovulation groups based on the outcome measures described.
• Analyze live birth outcomes for intrauterine insemination cycles based on the reported live birth rate metric.
• Study the effect of specific interventions on miscarriage rates based on the secondary outcome mentioned.
• Model reproductive outcomes in donor sperm IUI cycles based on the patient cohort and time period described.

Strengths

• Contains data from 5610 first-natural IUI cycles, providing a substantial sample size.
• Covers a specific 6-year time range from January 2012 to December 2017.
• Focuses on a controlled patient cohort of normo-ovulatory women without tubal infertility.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the underlying data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single study from China.
