Popis: The aim of the study was to assess correlation of ultrasonographic markers of ovarian reserve and IVF/ICSI outcome. Two-hundred twelve IVF/ICSI patients were included. Upon pituitary suppression confirmation, antral follicle count (AFC), ovarian volume (OV), and ovarian stromal indices [vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI), and vascularization flow index (VFI)] were assessed by three-dimensional (3D) and power Doppler (PD) ultrasound and correlated with the number of mature oocytes retrieved. The number of mature oocytes retrieved correlated strongly with AFC (r = 0.832, p ≤ 0.001) and OV (r = 0.835, p ≤ 0.001), but weakly with VI (r = 0.166, p = 0.016), FI (r = 0.151, p = 0.028), and VFI (r = 0.14, p = 0.041). AFC and OV correlate strongly with the number of mature oocytes retrieved in IVF/ICSI cycles, whereas 3D PD indices of the ovarian stromal vascularity have a weak correlation.
