Brief Summary

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

The goal of this prospective, observational study is to learn about the pathogenesis and biological target of the subtypes of poor ovarian response (POR) during In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). The main question it aims to answer is:

1. Can the relative expression level of SIRT3 differentiate between POR subtypes, and do these differences reflect distinct metabolic characteristics among the subtypes?
2. Investigate whether SIRT3 expression levels correlate with clinical outcomes. This study will enroll patients with various POR subtypes and collect discarded follicular fluid and granulosa cells on the day of egg retrieval. IVF outcome information routinely collected in electronic databases will also be recorded. Notably, this is a purely observational study with no additional interventions. Your participation will not alter your clinical treatment compared to other patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Normal prognosis group (control group)

Participants included in this group should have normal ovarian reserve: number of antral follicle count ≥5, level of anti-Mullerian hormone ≥1.2 ng/ml, and number of oocytes retrieved in the present IVF-ET cycles\>9. All participants in this group receive the standard operation protocol for In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

Not applicable- observational study

Intervention Type OTHER

Not applicable- observational study

Unexpected poor prognosis group

Participants included in this group should have normal ovarian reserve but a poor ovarian response, defined as: number of antral follicle count ≥5, level of anti-Müllerian hormone ≥1.2ng/ml, and number of oocytes retrieved in the present IVF-ET cycles ≤ 9. All participants in this group will receive the standard operation for in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

Not applicable- observational study

Intervention Type OTHER

Not applicable- observational study

Poor prognosis of advanced maternal age group

Participants included in this group are characterized by advanced age (≥35 years) and meet at least one of the following criteria: 1. Number of oocytes retrieved in the current IVF cycle ≤9; 2. Diminished ovarian reserve: level of anti-Mullerian hormone\<1.2 ng/ml or number of antral follicle count \<5. All participants in this group receive the standard operation protocol for In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

Expected poor prognosis group

Participants included in this group should have diminished ovarian reserve: number of antral follicle count\<5 and level of anti-Mullerian hormone\<1.2 ng/ml. All participants in this group receive the standard operation protocol for In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* 1\. Women who are married and aged between 20 to 45 years, diagnosed with infertility;
* 2\. Individuals undergoing their first or second cycle of in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), with a scheduled fresh embryo transfer;
* 3\. Participants must fulfill the diagnostic criteria corresponding to one of the following prognostic categories as determined by the clinician: Normal prognosis, unexpected poor prognosis, poor prognosis of advanced maternal age, or expected poor prognosis.

Exclusion Criteria

* 1\. A body mass index (BMI) of ≥ 35 kg/m²;
* 2\. Participation in cycles involving pre-implantation genetic testing or diagnosis of embryos;
* 3\. Involvement in cycles utilizing frozen gametes;
* 4\. Engagement in cycles that employ donor-derived oocytes;
* 5\. Participation in in vitro maturation cycles;
* 6.The presence of uterine cavity or endometrial abnormalities, including but not limited to fibroids, endometrial polyps, malformations, adenomyomas, endometritis, endometrial thinning, hydrosalpinx, uterine infections;
* 7.The existence of contraindications to assisted reproductive technology or pregnancy, such as uncontrolled liver or kidney dysfunction, diabetes mellitus (with glycated hemoglobin ≤ 7% and fasting blood glucose \&amp;amp;amp;lt; 10 mmol/L), hypertension, thyroid disorders, asymptomatic cardiac conditions, moderate-to-severe anemia, malignancies, a history of thromboembolism or thrombosis, severe mental health disorders, acute infections of the urinary and reproductive systems, sexually transmitted infections, and detrimental lifestyle factors including substance abuse. Additionally, exposure to teratogenic levels of radiation, toxins, or medications (such as prednisone, other hormones, adrenaline, antibiotics, or medications for hypertension, cardiovascular issues, or antiviral treatment) during surgical procedures, as well as any physical conditions rendering pregnancy inadvisable, are also considered disqualifying factors.
