Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the miscarriage rates and the factors associated with cases of spontaneous abortion observed in women offered intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled women who became pregnant with the aid of ICSI treated at the Babol Infertility Center (Iran) within a period of five years (2010-2015). Data were collected from patient charts and, in some cases, through phone calls. The study looked into the incidence of spontaneous abortion in women offered ICSI and the factors associated with miscarriage. The chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and the t-test were used to analyze the data. Results: From a total of 145 pregnant women, 120 were included in our study. The prevalence of miscarriage was 20%. Galactorrhea was significantly more present in patients who had miscarriages (25% vs. 9.37%, p=0.04). There was a marked difference in the duration of infertility of miscarriage and non-miscarriage patients offered ICSI (6.6±8.3 vs. 4.9±7.3 years, p=0.05). No association was found between maternal age, BMI, cause of infertility, hormonal pattern, type of infertility, history of surgery, polycystic ovary syndrome, number of oocytes, or day of retrieval with miscarriage.
