Prognostic Value of a Serum β-Hcg Cut Off, 12 Days After Fresh Embryo Transfer, on Predicting Live Birth Among Ugandan Women(Article)
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is secreted by the embryo as early as the rst week of life. Several studies have proven the potential of a single serum β hCG level, at 12 to 14 days after embryo transfer, to predict pregnancy outcomes after In vitro fertilization. However, these studies show signicant heterogeneity, with paucity of data from African populations. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of a serum β-hCG level cut off, 12 days after embryo transfer, on predicting livebirth among Ugandan women.
