title: Reproductive endocrinology: live birth prediction in polycystic ovary syndrome.
abstract: Anovulatory infertility is common in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Clinicians who provide first-line treatment have to decide how best to induce ovulation with the desired outcome of live birth, a decision often complicated by the phenotypic heterogeneity of PCOS. could a new livebirth prediction model of different ovulation induction methods developed from basic clinical parameters help select infertility treatments?
