Influence of Paternal Age on Assisted Reproduction Outcome
Summary
In the recent years, there is an increasing tendency to the parenthood delay in developed countries, and there is not enough information available regarding the influence of the male's age on fertility. If any, the negative impact should be acting at advanced ages.
Our aim with this work was to determine the role of paternal age on IUI results embryo quality and IVF outcome. Evenmore, in order to standardize the female factor, good quality oocytes (from fertile oocyte donors) and only first IVF cycles in young women were considered.
Description
A retrospective study has been designed with a total number of 2204 IUI, 1286 IVF cycles and 1412 IVF cycles with donated oocytes from 2000 to 2006.
The inclusion criteria will be for IUI: women under 38 years old, tubal patency demonstrated by hysterosalpingography, normal uterine scan, normal basal hormonal levels, body mass index < 27 kg/m2, and absence of polycystic ovarian syndrome and endometriosis. For normal IVF cycles and oocyte donation cycles only first cycles will be analyzed. Cycles will be studied only in couples with absence of severe male factor.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Databases, Genetic
Databases devoted to knowledge about specific genes and gene products.
Databases, Nucleic Acid
Databases containing information about NUCLEIC ACIDS such as BASE SEQUENCE; SNPS; NUCLEIC ACID CONFORMATION; and other properties. Information about the DNA fragments kept in a GENE LIBRARY or GENOMIC LIBRARY is often maintained in DNA databases.
Databases, Bibliographic
Extensive collections, reputedly complete, of references and citations to books, articles, publications, etc., generally on a single subject or specialized subject area. Databases can operate through automated files, libraries, or computer disks. The concept should be differentiated from DATABASES, FACTUAL which is used for collections of data and facts apart from bibliographic references to them.
Databases, Protein
Databases containing information about PROTEINS such as AMINO ACID SEQUENCE; PROTEIN CONFORMATION; and other properties.
Databases, Factual
Extensive collections, reputedly complete, of facts and data garnered from material of a specialized subject area and made available for analysis and application. The collection can be automated by various contemporary methods for retrieval. The concept should be differentiated from DATABASES, BIBLIOGRAPHIC which is restricted to collections of bibliographic references.
