Purpose: To determine which factors predict pregnancy outcome in women
aged 40 years and above who underwent in-vitro fertilization. Method: We
conducted a retrospective case-control study of 631 women aged 40–46 years, who
underwent a total of 904 IVF cycles with autologous gametes. We used stepwise
logistic regression analysis to develop predictors of pregnancy, clinical
pregnancy and live birth outcomes. Data are presented as mean
