Use of follicular output rate to predict intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcome

ABSTRACT

Background: The measurement of follicular output rate [FORT] has been proposed as a good indicator for evaluating follicular response to the exogenous recombinant folliclestimulating hormone [rFSH]. This places FORT as a promising qualitative marker for ovarian function. The objective of the study was to determine FORT as a predictor of oocyte competence, embryo quality and clinical pregnancy after intracytoplasmic sperm injection [ICSI]
