Basal LH Levels and IVF Outcomes by Age Group, 2020-2022

1,153 patient records from a reproductive medicine center between March 2020 and May 2022 were analyzed in a retrospective study. The data examines the association between basal luteinising hormone levels and clinical pregnancy and live birth rates following fresh embryo transfer, stratified by patient age. The dataset was authored by Mengying Zhang and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Train predictive models for IVF/ICSI outcomes based on patient age and hormone levels mentioned in the description
• Analyze the interaction effect between basal LH and other clinical variables like progesterone and endometrial thickness
• Validate or challenge existing clinical assumptions about the predictive value of LH levels in different age groups

Strengths

• Includes data from 1,153 patients undergoing their first IVF/ICSI cycle
• Analysis adjusts for multiple confounders including BMI, infertility cause, ovarian reserve markers, and embryo quality
• Provides specific odds ratios and confidence intervals for associations in different age subgroups

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data is from a single center and a specific time period (March 2020 to May 2022), which may limit generalizability
