Predictive value of antral follicle count and serum anti-Müllerian hormone: Which is better for live birth prediction in patients aged over 40 with their first IVF treatment?

In patients aged over 40, AFC and AMH were shown to be good biomarkers for the prediction of clinical pregnancy and live birth. Although AMH was positively correlated with clinical pregnancy and had no association with live birth, the predictive value of AFC and AMH were similar for both clinical pregnancy and live birth. To predict the live birth, age ≤41, AFC >3 and total retrieved oocytes >6 appeared to be meaningful. This study demonstrated the significance of AMH and AFC as predictors of clinical pregnancy and live birth for old aged women at their first IVF cycle with gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol.
