[New concepts in the induction of ovulation. A logarithmic assessment of estradiol production during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for fertilization in vitro].
The objective was to evaluate the exponential response of serum estradiol to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) in an in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) program through measurement of logarithm of serum estradiol area under the curve (LOG-OUC). One hundred three patients undergone conventional IVF-ET with pituitary suppression were studied. For to calculate the LOG-AUC estradiol, trapezoidal formula and ten-fold logarithm definitions were employed. The estradiol synthesis have notorious logarithmic changes during all COH. There was significant difference between estradiol AUC for initial and final phases of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. As conclusion LOG-AUC of estradiol can be used for to evaluate the ovarian response to superovulation, its prognostic value for following IVF-ET intent is discussed.
