dc.description.abstractAim We aimed to investigate the value of follicular fluid fetuins-A and -B to predict successful IVF and pregnancy outcomes in infertile women with poor, normal, and high ovarian reserve. Methods The follicular fluid of 96 infertile women who underwent intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedure was analyzed. Fetuins-A and -B levels were examined and compared in those who could achieve pregnancy and those who could not. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyzes were used to determine cut-off and statistically significant associations for fetuins-A and -B. Results Follicular fluid fetuin-A levels were higher in cases with weak ovarian reserve (OR) (p < 0.05) and higher in patients who did not achieve clinical pregnancy (p < 0.05). Conversely, the follicular fluid fetuin-B levels were lower in cases with poor OR (p < 0.05) and were lower in patients who did not achieve a clinical pregnancy (p < 0.05). A follicular fluid fetuin-A concentration <= 19.12 ng/mL had a sensitivity and specificity of 94.74% and 93.1%, respectively, at predicting clinical pregnancy. While the follicular fluid fetuin-B concentration >24.7 ng/mL had sensitivity and specificity of 71.1% and 51.7%, respectively, for clinical pregnancy prediction. Conclusion Overall, high levels of follicular fluid fetuin-A may be independently associated with unsuccessful IVF irrespective of OR grouping. A low level of follicular fetuin-B was also associated with failed IVF. The sensitivity and specificity were found to be higher for fetuin-A in predicting clinical pregnancy. Therefore, the follicular fluid fetuin-A may be more predictive for successful IVF and clinical pregnancy outcomes than follicular fluid fetuin-B.
