Background: To determine whether a minimal stimulation (MS) or high-dose stimulation (HDS) protocol is a better option for patients classified as poor ovarian responders (POR) in terms of reproductive and pregnancy outcomes. Materials and methods: A database search for evaluation of the study outcome by using meta-analysis method was carried out. The primary outcome was the clinical pregnancy (CP) rate for each of two groups, namely, the MS and HDS groups. The secondary outcomes were the gonadotropin dose used, duration of stimulation, cancellation rate, number of oocytes retrieved, number of fertilized oocytes, number of embryos transferred and live birth rates. Results: Across five databases, 4670 potential studies for further screening were selected. But ultimately only six studies, three RCTs and three retrospective or case control studies were selected that meet the Bologna criteria for POR. In all there were 624 cycles. Our meta-analysis indicated that the CP rates, cycle cancellation rates, durations of stimulation, numbers of oocytes fertilized and numbers of embryos transferred were not statistically significant. Clearly, the number of oocytes retrieved in the MS group was significantly lower than in the HDS group, while the HDS group consumed significantly higher doses of gonadotropins than the MS group. The live birth rates were significantly higher in the MS group than in the HDS group. Conclusion: MS should be the first-line protocol for managing POR because the live birth rate is significantly higher, even with fewer oocytes retrieved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
