AIMS:Pregnancies achieved by in vitro fertilization (IVF) are at increased risk of adverse outcome. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of β-human chorionic gonadotrophin (β-HCG) and age of the patient for the successful outcome in IVF.MATERIALS AND METHODS:A retrospective study was done in 139 pregnancies after IVF at single IVF center from June 2007 to July 2012. The age of the patient and initial serum values of β-HCG on day 14 of embryo transfer were correlated with ongoing pregnancy (>12 weeks gestation).RESULTS:The β-HCG level on day 14 of more than 347 mIU/ml has a sensitivity of 72.2% and specificity of 73.6% in prediction of pregnancy beyond 12 weeks period of gestation. Positive likelihood ratio (LR) is 2.74 and negative LR is 0.37, (receiver operating characteristic area = 0.79).DISCUSSION:In IVF cycles, there is a lot of stress on the couples while the cycle is going on. There was a positive correlation between the higher values of early serum β-HCG levels and ongoing pregnancy. Hence, it can be used as an independent predictor of a successful outcome of IVF cycle.CONCLUSION:We concluded from our study that early serum β-HCG can be used as a predictor of a successful outcome in IVF.

“…HCG is of placental origin, represents trophoblast functional integrity, and appears in maternal blood approximately 6 to 8 days after fertilization. Numerous studies have revealed that pregnancies with low initial hCG values are associated with a poor prognosis [2-6]. Serum hCG levels at 11 days post-ET are significantly lower for those that experience early pregnancy loss, and a cut-off of 50 mIU/mL was found to predict pregnancy outcome with good sensitivity and specificity of 75% and 81%, respectively [4].…”

“…However, the positive predictive value (PPV) of hCG at this cut-off level was around 50% and its negative predictive value (NPV) was 93% in those study. However, in two recent studies, with cut-off values of 80 and 76 mIU/mL, the PPV of hCG was 93.3% and 87% and NPV was 40% and 74%, respectively [2,3]. …”

ObjectiveThis study was performed to assess the prognostic value of serum hCG, progesterone, and inhibin A levels measured at 11 days post-ET for predicting pregnancy outcome in women participating in IVF.MethodsBetween May 2005 and April 2008, sera were obtained from 70 infertile women who underwent IVF-ET at 11 days post-ET and stored. HCG, progesterone, and inhibin A levels were measured by commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. The predictive accuracy of hCG, progesterone, and inhibin A levels for establishment of intrauterine pregnancy and ongoing pregnancy was calculated by receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis.ResultsFor the prediction of intrauterine and ongoing pregnancy, serum hCG was better than progesterone and inhibin A. The predictive performance of progesterone and inhibin A was similar. The serum progesterone and inhibin A levels were significantly correlated each other (r=0.915, p=0.010).ConclusionA single measurement of the serum hCG level is sufficient to predict pregnancy outcome in IVF-ET patients.

Predictive value of early serum β‐hCG levels after single blastocyst transfer

Abstract: The predictive value of a single beta-hCG measurement for pregnancy outcome after single blastocyst transfer increases between days 11 and 21 after OR. A single beta-hCG measurement on day 14 may balance the accuracy of prediction and the necessity of an early reassuring test.
