Objective: We attempted to identify the optimal cutoff numbers of mature oocytes that would produce at least one or multiple top-quality (grade A) day-3 embryos in normal responders undergoing stimulated in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles.
Methods: We selected 210 fresh IVF cycles performed in 170 infertile women at a single center from January 2014 to November 2019. Four to 14 (total) oocytes were obtained in all cycles after conventional ovarian stimulation. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to find the moderate and extreme cutoff numbers of mature oocytes that would produce ¡Ã 1, ¡Ã 2, ¡Ã 3, ¡Ã 4, and ¡Ã 5 top-quality embryos.
Results: The cutoff number of mature oocytes was significantly correlated with the number of top-quality embryos (r = 0.467, p= 0.000). The moderate cutoff number of mature oocytes was ¡Ã 3, ¡Ã 5, ¡Ã 5, ¡Ã 6, and ¡Ã 6 for obtaining ¡Ã 1, ¡Ã 2, ¡Ã 3, ¡Ã 4, and ¡Ã 5 top-quality embryos, respectively. The extreme cutoff number of mature oocytes was ¡Ã 9, ¡Ã 9, ¡Ã 10, ¡Ã 10, and ¡Ã 11 for obtaining ¡Ã 1, ¡Ã 2, ¡Ã 3, ¡Ã 4, and ¡Ã 5 top-quality embryos, respectively.
Conclusion: We present the optimal cutoff numbers of mature oocytes that would yield ¡Ã 1, ¡Ã 2, ¡Ã 3, ¡Ã 4, and ¡Ã 5 top-quality embryos with 95% specificity. Our findings could help infertility clinicians to set target mature oocyte numbers in women undergoing stimulated IVF cycles.
