Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Investigators wants to analyze the differences considering the country of origin, ethnicity, characteristics, reproductive history and habits of participants undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) / intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment as well as the stimulation outcome in regards to stimulation dosages and egg cell yield.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Infertility is acknowledged worldwide as a major health concern with significant regional differences. The prevalence of infertility in women of reproductive age has been estimated to be one in every seven couples in the western world and one in every four couples in developing countries. Geographical, sociocultural / religious and ethnical dissimilarities contribute to these global variations in infertility prevalence. Infertility has a major impact on family stability in many cultures, especially in developing countries, where childlessness can impact sociocultural status.

So far, most fertility treatments are based on studies performed in Western countries and therefore mostly performed in Caucasian population and research regarding infertility causes and optimal treatments in other populations is scarce. The aim of this prospective study is therefore to analyze the differences in the basic parameters of the populations analyzed, considering the country of origin and ethnicity undergoing IVF/ICSI treatment as well as the stimulation outcome in regards to stimulation dosages and oocyte yield.
