Abstract

Objective: To prospectively compare the prognosis of IVF-ET cycles using oocyte sharing vs. cycles using altruistic donors. Design: Prospective cohort prognostic study. Setting: University teaching hospital. Patient(s): A total of 353 consecutive infertile women with premature ovarian failure or diminished ovarian function. Intervention(s): After receipt of institutional ethics approval, IVF-ET was performed with the use of either oocyte sharing (n = 220) or altruistic donors (n = 133). Continuous data (mean + SD [95% confidence interval]) were compared with Student's t test or Mann-Whitney test as appropriate; categoric data were compared with Fisher's exact test, odds ratios (OR), and relative risk (RR).
