The effect of small intramural uterine
fibroids on the cumulative outcome of
assisted conception (Khalaf et al 2006) • 322 women without fibroids and 112 women
with fibroids underwent 606 IVF/ICSI cycles. Live birth rates in the study group 14.8% compared to 24% in the control group, (P<0.05). The cumulative ongoing pregnancy rate was reduced by 43% (HR=0.57, 95% CI=0.35‐0.91, P=0.018), and the cumulative live birth rate was reduced by 47% (HR=0.53, 95% CI=0.32‐0.87, P=0.013)
Small intramural fibroids can affect IVF outcome if they are close to endometrial cavity (1‐3 mm) (Lu et al., 2015)
