PURPOSE: Growth hormone (GH) supplementation in association with in vitro fertilization (IVF) is worldwide again increasing, even though study outcomes have been discrepant. Since GH acts via insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), its utilization in IVF would only seem to make sense with low IGF-1. We, therefore, determined whether IGF-I levels affect IVF outcomes.
METHODS: Retrospectively, 302 consecutive first fresh, non-donor IVF cycles were studied, excluding patients on GH supplementation. Patients were divided into 3 subgroups: IGF-1 in lower 25th percentile (group A, < 132 ng/mL, n = 64); 25th-75th percentile (B, 133-202 ng/mL, n = 164), and upper 25th percentile (C, > 202 ng/mL, n = 74). IGF-1 was tested immunochemiluminometric with normal range at 78-270 ng/mL. Because of the study patients' adverse selection and low pregnancy chances, the main outcome measure for the study was cycle cancellation. Secondary outcomes were oocyte numbers, embryos transferred, pregnancies, and live births.
RESULTS: Group A was significantly older than B and C (P = 0.019). IGF-1 decreased with increasing age per year by 2.2 ± 0.65 ng/mL (P = 0.0007). FSH was best in group B and worst in A (trend, P = 0.085); AMH was best in B and worst in A (N.S.). Cycle cancellations were lowest in C (11.6%) and highest in A (25.0%; P = 0.042). This significance further improved with age adjustment (P = 0.021). Oocytes, embryo numbers, pregnancies, and live birth rates did not differ, though oocyte numbers trended highest in B.
CONCLUSIONS: Here presented results support the hypothesis that IGF-1 levels affect IVF outcomes. GH treatments, therefore, may be effective only with low IGF-1.
