ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The Professional Practice Evaluation (PPE) is at the heart of quality management in procreation centers. Hereby, we report 3 years of EPP in Cytogenetics and Reproduction laboratory in Amiens University Hospital. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This PPE is based upon prospective analysis of in vitro fertilization techniques regarding two major parameters clinically in improving embryo transfer and biologically by determining fecundation levels. Clinical pregnancies in "Top Quality" trial is chosen as a major indicator of our results. RESULTS: Per transfer, there is an increase of 8% for clinical pregnancies and 31% in "Top quality" trials. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The improvement in our results allowed us to propose, in favourable conditions, single embryo transfer.
