| description | Abstract Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of current ovarian reserve tests in unexplained infertile cases. Material and methods This case–control study was conducted on 70 unexplained infertile women who were included in a tertiary university hospital. Both groups of basal FSH, estradiol, antimullerian hormone (AMH), inhibin B, ovarian volume, total antral follicle count (AFC), ovarian volume, and ovarian stromal blood flow (peak systolic velocity (PSV), S/D (systole and diastole ratio), resistance index (RI), and pulsatility index (PI)) values were compared. Results The mean AMH, inhibin B, PSV, and stromal blood flow values of the control group patients were higher than those in the unexplained infertility group. However, the values of the means of RI and PI of the cases in the control group were lower than those in the infertility group. When PI’s value was ≥ 2.00, its sensitivity was 65.7%, and its specificity was 64.3%. In the case of the RI, its value was ≥ 0.745, its sensitivity was 65.7%, and its specificity was 62.9%. In order to show ovarian reserve in unexplained infertile cases, the sensitivity values can be sorted from high to low as follows: PI > RI > estradiol > FSH > ovarian volume > AFC > inhibin B > stromal blood flow > PSV > S/D. Conclusion In the unexplained infertile patient group with normal ovarian reserve test results, basal estradiol, decreased PI, and RI values may be used as good ovarian reserve predictors. |
