An observational study in Infertility, Obesity and Pregnancy Complications, sponsored by Assiut University. Not yet recruiting. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 45 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-22.
Sponsored by Assiut University · Observational
This retrospective cohort study aims to evaluate the effect of body mass index on the outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles at Assiut Women Health Hospital.
Obesity is associated with alterations in reproductive function and may affect the success of assisted reproductive techniques. This observational study will review medical records of women who underwent ICSI cycles.
Patients will be classified according to the World Health Organization body mass index categories: underweight (\<18.5 kg/m²), normal weight (18.5-24.99 kg/m²), overweight (25-29.99 kg/m²), and obese (≥30 kg/m²). Pregnancy outcomes will be compared across BMI groups.
2,085 studies on the registry are indexed under Infertility; 357 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 350 is above the median of 200 across 592 observational studies indexed under Infertility.
