Tasa de embarazo en pacientes con tratamiento para infertilidad primaria en el Hospital Teodoro Maldonado Carbo enero 2014 - enero 2016.

Abstract

Introduction: Infertility is defined as the inability to become pregnant after a period of one year or more of having regular sexual intercourse without contraception. Aims: Determine pregnancy rate after treatment for primary infertility with clomiphene citrate. Methods: A longitudinal retrospective study was conducted using information from the Electronic Medical Records (RME) of Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital (TMC). The study sample consisted of adult female patients with primary infertility diagnosis who were treated from January 2014 to January 2016. Results: From the 100 patients studied, 39 (39 %) achieved pregnancy while 61 (61 %) did not. Of the total sample, 41 (41 %) had normal BMI and 59 (59 %) had BMI of overweight and obesity. The most used treatment for infertility was Clomiphene Citrate in 59 patients (59 %) followed by Clomiphene with Metformin 24 (24 %) and other treatments were only used in 17 patients (17 %). A Pearson correlation table was drawn which indicates that there is a 23.3 % association between BMI and pregnancy rate, thus finding that women with high imc have a higher risk of not getting pregnant. Conclusion: It was concluded that pregnancy success is related to the use of clomiphene but the result was not statistically significant, in addition women with elevated BMI, have more risk of not getting pregnant.
