Abstract
- Abstract Accurate prediction of oocyte maturation is a critical determinant of success in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) procedures. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the various predictive approaches employed to assess oocyte maturity, including single indicators, combined indicators, and predictive models. Factors such as ovarian reserve, patient characteristics, and controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) strategies can significantly influence oocyte maturation rates. Single indicators, including hormone levels, ultrasound parameters, and clinical parameters, have been extensively studied. However, their predictive power may be limited when used in isolation. Combined indicators, integrating multiple parameters, have demonstrated improved predictive performance compared to single indicators. Additionally, predictive models and algorithms, such as machine learning and deep learning models, have emerged as promising tools for assessing oocyte maturity. These models leverage advanced statistical and computational methods to analyze complex datasets and identify patterns that can predict oocyte maturation rates with potentially higher accuracy. Despite these advancements, several gaps and limitations persist, including limited generalizability, lack of standardization, insufficient external validation, and the need to incorporate patient-specific factors and emerging technologies. The review highlights potential areas for further research, such as multicenter collaborative studies, integration of advanced omics technologies, development of personalized prediction models, and investigation of trigger time optimization strategies. Recommendations for clinical practice include utilizing a combination of indicators, adopting validated predictive models, tailoring approaches based on individual patient characteristics, continuous monitoring and adjustment, and fostering multidisciplinary collaboration. Accurate prediction of oocyte maturation holds profound implications for improving the success rates of IVF-ET and enhancing the chances of achieving a healthy pregnancy. Continued research, innovative approaches, and the implementation of evidence-based practices are essential to optimize assisted reproductive outcomes.
