Abstract
Background: Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has come a long way by considering the incorporation of new modalities like artificial intelligence (AI), time-lapse imaging, and cryopreservation.
Objective: The proposed study aimed to assess the latest developments and new forms of ART in the The Homerton Fertility Center, London, UK, in terms of their clinical practice and outcomes.
Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was performed between from 1st June, 2018 to 1st September, 2018. Two hundred couples who have undergone ART techniques, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), cryopreservation, and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), were included. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze data on fertilization, embryo quality, and clinical outcomes.
Results: The average age of females was 32.5 years, and the average infertility period was 5.2 years. 68% primary infertility and 32% secondary infertility. The most common procedure was ICSI (45%), then IVF (40%), cryopreservation (10%), and PGT (5%). The fertilization rate was 72%, the high-quality embryos rate was 65%, the clinical pregnancy rate was 48%, and the implantation rate was 35%. The use of AI in embryo grading and vitrification has significantly enhanced results in comparison with traditional methods.
Conclusion: The ART outcome has been enhanced by the introduction of AI and better cryopreservation using time-lapse imaging, as the local practice has not been left behind in adapting to the global trends. Accessibility and investment should also be increased to make ART benefits more inclusive of a greater number of people.
