Open DOI
Vaginal microbiome composition and medically assisted reproduction outcomes: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of 2289 women across three WHO regions
BACKGROUND: The vaginal microbiome may influence the success of medically assisted reproduction (MAR), including IVF with or without ICSI, and IUI. However, findings across studies remain inconsistent, and previous meta-analyses have lar...

Delayed, fragmented, inequitable: a global qualitative systematic synthesis of fertility care pathways and determinants
BACKGROUND: Infertility is a prevalent reproductive health condition that affects one in six people worldwide. Despite recent increasing recognition of the global burden of infertility, a large fertility care gap remains, with limited un...

Lifestyle interventions for cardiometabolic health in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
BACKGROUND: Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) face an elevated long-term risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, largely driven by clustered cardiometabolic abnormalities. Although lifestyle interventions primarily ...

Decoding the immune regulation of ovarian aging: mechanisms and therapeutic strategies
BACKGROUND: Ovarian aging is among the earliest functional declines in humans and acts as a pacemaker of female aging. It encompasses both physiological age-related ovarian decline and pathological accelerated aging, exemplified by prema...

PGT-A, the theory versus the evidence: a systematic review on efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness
BACKGROUND: Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) aims to increase live birth rate (LBR) after IVF/ICSI. While observational studies and most systematic reviews have indicated benefits with increased LBRs and reduced mis...

Male infertility research for the ART clinic: priorities to enhance patient outcomes, education and wellbeing
BACKGROUND: Men attending ART clinics often have poor fertility awareness and are typically overlooked for psychological support. Recent developments in understanding the link between sub-fertility, healthspan and lifespan enforce the ne...

Genetic architecture of endometriosis: risk factors, comorbidities and clinical implications
BACKGROUND: In 1999, Dr Susan Treloar and colleagues conducted a landmark twin study in Australia and reported their estimate of 51% for the heritability of endometriosis. This important result led several groups to begin mapping genetic...

Cytoplasmic strings in human in-vitro embryos are a promising indicator for enhanced live-birth outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
INTRODUCTION: Cytoplasmic strings (CS) are transient filamentous connections which traverse the blastocoel, connecting the inner cell mass to the mural trophectoderm in blastocysts. Although they have been observed in animal studies for ...

Oocyte donors’ motivations for donation and expectations about post-donation contact with donor-conceived individuals: a systematic review
BACKGROUND: Oocyte donation has been increasingly used in ARTs in recent years. Previous reviews have generally reported positive donor attitudes towards oocyte donation; however, they have not focused on expectations regarding outcomes ...

Revisiting placental hypoxia in assisted reproduction: from molecular signatures to functional consequences
BACKGROUND: The global expansion of assisted reproductive technologies (ART), including in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), has raised concerns regarding the impact on placental development and susce...
