| Abstract |
Human blastocysts were frozen in Earle's solution containing pyruvate and human serum, using glycerol as cryoprotectant, and stored in liquid nitrogen. Thawed blastocysts were replaced in 11 patients, which resulted in two pregnancies. One blastocyst giving a pregnancy was hatching when replaced. Three parameters appeared to be important for embryo survival and implantation: the interval between ovulation and replacement of the thawed blastocysts, satisfactory embryonic development before freezing, and the stage of blastulation when cooling began. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 June 2012.
All research outputs
#3,798,066
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics
#189
of 1,832 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#564
of 9,456 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics
#1
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,832 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 9,456 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
