title: [Clinicals and biological aspects of ICSI cycles on patients with polycystic ovary syndrome].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyse clinical et biological pecularities of Polycystics Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) patients enrolled on ICSI cycles and compare them to normo-ovulatory women.
  
  
  METHODS
  100 controlled ovarian stimulation cycles for ICSI in women with PCOS and 200 cycles in normo-ovulatory women.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There was no significant difference in term of cancellation rate (5.5% in PCOS group vs 5%; NS). The mean number of follicles was higher in patients with PCOS (18.1 +/- 8.5 vs 9.4 +/- 5.5; p < 0.05). Oocyte mature rate and fertilization rate were higher in PCOS group (67% vs 52%; p < 0.05) (75% vs 63.7%; p < 0.05) respectively. Grade 1 embryo rate was significantly higher in PCOS group (69% vs 53%; p < 0.05). Implantation rate (16.6% vs 12.1%; NS) and clinical pregnancy rate per transfer (31.5% vs 22.2%; NS) did not differ statistically in the two groups. Miscarriage rate was higher in PCOS group but this did not reach the statistical significance (20% vs 7.1%; NS). 11 cases of Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome occurred in PCOS group versus 4 on normo-ovulatory group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Use of ICSI as fertilization technique was correlated with good biologic parameters on PCOS patients with better fertilization rate and embryo quality and similar pregnancy rate comparing to normo-ovulatory women. However, it still be great concern about high risk of miscarriages and Hyperstimulation ovarian syndrome.
