Human chorionic gonadotropin for in vitro oocyte maturation: does it improve the endometrium or implantation?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) priming on endometrial receptivity in women with polycystic ovary syndrome undergoing in vitro maturation. STUDY DESIGN: The study was a randomized, controlled trial. After a withdrawal bleed, on day 8-10 of the cycle, women were randomized to receive 10,000 IU hCG or none 36 hours before immature oocyte retrieval. Oocytes were matured and fertilized, and up to 3 embryos were transferred. Prior to transfer, endometrial thickness, uterine artery pulsatility index and subendometrial bloodflow were determined. RESULTS: There was no difference in endometrial thickness (10.1 vs. 10.4 mm), uterine artery pulsatility index (2.45 vs. 2.65) or absent subendometrial bloodflow (23% vs. 18%) between the treatment and control groups. Higher numbers of embryos were produced in the treatment group (7.0 vs. 3.6), resulting in more pregnancies, although the implantation rates (16.7 vs. 16.0%) were similar. CONCLUSION: Preretrieval hCG priming does not improve the ultrasound parameters of endometrial receptivity or the implantation rate, although more embryos are generated.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
