Abstract

There exist contradictive views on whether the vitamin D has association with clinical outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and/or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The present meta-analysis aim to establish whether vitamin D was associated with clinical outcomes of IVF/ICSI. MEDLINE, Google Scholar and the Cochrane Library from database inception to March 2017 were searched. Clinical studies, which evaluated the association of vitamin D level and the clinical outcomes after IVF/ICSI, were included. The Main Outcome Measures were clinical pregnancy, ongoing pregnancy, and live birth. In the analysis of clinical pregnancy, 9 cohort studies were included. Of which, 2 studies and 3 studies were identified in analyzing ongoing pregnancy and live birth, respectively. Meta-analysis showed trends toward lower clinical pregnancy [RR 0.91, (95% CI 0.77-1.07)] and higher ongoing pregnancy [RR 1.06, (95% CI 0.95-1.19)] for women with deficient level of vitamin D. The probability of live birth for women with deficient level of vitamin D was significantly lower than cases with sufficient level of vitamin D [RR 0.74, (95% CI 0.58-0.90)]. Deficient vitamin D was associated with decreased probability of live birth after IVF/ICSI. So vitamin D should be supplied to women with deficient level vitamin D.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 41. 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 19 August 2019.
All research outputs
#867,619
of 23,023,224 outputs
Outputs from Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology
#37
of 986 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#23,248
of 442,600 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology
#3
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,023,224 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 96th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 986 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% 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 442,600 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
