Clinical Pregnancy Rate in Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI) is not Affected by the type of Catheter Used
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Objective: To compare the clinical pregnancy rate of IUI with the Gynetics catheter (Gynetics Medical Products, Hamont-Achel, Belgium) or the Labotect catheter (labotect insemination catheter, Germany). Design: Prospective, randomized study. Setting: Infertility unit at Alexandria university hospital (Shatby IVF-ICSI LAB), and Madina IVF-ICSI Center. Patient (s): Two hundred infertile couples undergoing IUI treatments. Intervention(s): Patients were randomly assigned to undergo IUI treatment with either the Gynetics catheter (100 patients) or the Labotect catheter (100 patients). Main Outcome Measure(s): Primary outcome measure was the clinical pregnancy rate. Result (s): The use of the Gynetics catheter resulted in similar pregnancy (33% vs. 33%) and clinical pregnancy rates (20% vs. 19%) as compared with the Labotect catheter. Conclusion (s): There was no significant difference in pregnancy rates with use of either the Gynetics catheter or the Labotect catheter.
