Objectives: Infertility is a major public health problem globally, including India; the etiopathogenesis of reproductive disorders amongst ethnically disparate populations is indeed complex. Cost-effective, evidence-based intervention strategies are essential for infertility control/prevention. My pilot study aimed to assess the in vitro fertilization success trends amongst infertile women of Asian-Indian ethnicity.Methods: A prospective clinical research study enrolling infertile women undergoing Assisted-Reproductive-Technology procedures at Indira-IVF Hospital, Udaipur, India was rigorously conducte;. inclusion criteria: age<35 years, Indian ethnicity, Body Mass Index (kg/m2)<25, Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH)1.5-2.5 ng/ml, and exclusion criteria: prior ≥2 IVF failures, fibroids, adenomyosis, cervical cancer, thin endometrium, endometriosis. IVF success was determined by assessing total frozen embryos transferred per month, average oocyte yield per donor, oocyte quality, and pregnancy/beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG) positivity. Psycho-sexual intervention-incorporated marital-relationship counseling sessions/therapy, referrals for psychiatric assessments (cognitive impairment/schizophrenia/depression). Written informed consent of patients was taken at initial enrollment. Results andConclusions: Total embryos transferred were 248/April, 240/May, 201/June, 254/July, 230/August, 207/September; number of pregnancies/β-hCG positivity: 171, 171, 139, 179, 176, 163. Subgroup-stratification demonstrated that M-II vs total oocytes retrieved were 72.7%, 66.6%, 83.1%, 73.0%, 72.1% and 74.2%. Overall IVF success rates were 71%/April, 72%/May, 71%/June, 72%/July, 78%/August and 84%/September, and frozen embryo-transfer success was 68%, 75%, 74%, 85%, 77%, 83%. My maternal-fetal medicine study highlights promising IVF success rates in Asian-Indian infertile women; future public health research, awareness-campaigns, psychosocial interventions and pharmacogenetic epidemiological studies are warranted for successful development of predictive biomarkers for infertility management in ethnically disparate populations.
