A high oocyte yield for intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment is associated with an increased chromosome error rate.

Objective To compare the chromosome error rate among oocytes from stimulated ovaries after retrieval of 1–5 oocytes, 6–10 oocytes, and >10 oocytes. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting A university-based human genetic institute in collaboration with a private fertility center. Patient(s) Nine hundred thirty-three women undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with a poor prognosis. Intervention(s) Oocyte collection with ovarian stimulation. Polar body testing of ICSI oocytes for common chromosome errors. Main Outcome Measure(s) Chromosome error rate in oocytes, as determined by five-color fluorescence in situ hybridization. Result(s) In women less than 35 years and women bet…
