“…ART is usually the last resort in most resource-poor countries like Nigeria because of poor availability and accessibility. [18] The result of this study suggests that there was significant association between plasma AMH concentration and age. AMH levels was found to fall with increasing age and this is consistent with findings from existing literature.…”

Objective To determine the role of Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) in predicting fertilization and pregnancy rates following in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment cycles. Methods This was a prospective cohort study of one hundred and fifty consecutive women undergoing IVF-ET/ICSI that were recruited from February 1, 2017 to October 31, 2018 at the Fertility centre of the National Hospital, Abuja, Nigeria. Participants' plasma AMH were assayed and were followed up till achieving fertilization and pregnancy. Association between AMH levels, fertilization and pregnancy rates was assessed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression modelling to adjust for confounding variables. Results The mean age and mean AMH level of the participants were 36 ± 4.2 years and 1.74 ± 2.35ng/ml respectively. There was a statistically significant association between AMH level and age (P <0.001), duration of infertility (P =0.026), cause of infertility (P =0.035), number of oocytes retrieved (P =<0.001), number of embryos generated (P =<0.001) and type of treatment (P =<0.001). However, there was no significant difference in the fertilization rates (adjusted odds ratio [AdjOR] 0.36, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.23–4.30; P =0.533) and pregnancy rates (AdjOR 0.26, 95% CI 0.04–2.00; P =0.210) at different plasma levels of AMH. Conclusion Plasma AMH level was not a predictor of fertilization and pregnancy rates among our cohort of patients who had IVF/ICSI treatment cycles.

“…Africa must therefore rise to the challenge of providing effective, safe, and affordable IVF services to its population. Innovative ways should be found to make ART services affordable in low-resource settings [12,13].…”

“…Outcomes were defined as pregnancy and live birth rates after undertaking fertility treatment as this is the current leading metric for fertility treatment success (Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, 2020). The decision to keep the review focussed on highincome countries was to try and seek evidence of any discrepancy in healthcare systems that had more established fertility treatment provision rather than resource-poor countries where fertility treatment may be largely unavailable or inaccessible to most of the population (Allahbadia, 2013).…”

Socioeconomic status and fertility treatment outcomes in high-income countries: a review of the current literature

et al. 2021

The association between socioeconomic status and fertility is a subject that has received much attention. Yet, little is known as to whether the socioeconomic status has an impact on the outcomes of fertility treatment. This systematic review aims to assess any possible relationship between socioeconomic deprivation and treatment outcomes. A database search was conducted of all publications in this field up to March 2021. Eleven studies were identified and six of these specifically investigated the impact of socioeconomic status on fertility treatment outcomes. Children conceived following assisted conception are more likely to be born to mothers of a higher socioeconomic status than those conceived naturally. Of the few studies investigating the impact of socioeconomic status on fertility treatment outcomes and the results are conflicting, making it difficult to draw robust conclusions as to its effect. It is unknown which, if any, marker of socioeconomic status is the most significant for fertility patients: whether it is the characteristics of the individual or that of their surroundings. Further research is urgently needed.
