Gingold J, Kucherov A, Fazzari M, Lieman H, Ball GD, Doody K, Jindal S. Fertility and Sterility 123:50-60, 2025. PMID: 39128672. WHY WAS THIS STUDY CONDUCTED? To evaluate the impact of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) on first transfer live birth rate (LBR) and cumulative LBR (CLBR) in donor oocyte in vitro fertilization (IVF) [...]
Liu A, Shah T, Wu H, Lieman H, Singh M, Pollack S, Jindal S. AJOG 231:636:e1-9, 2024. PMID: 39029546. WHY WAS THIS STUDY CONDUCTED? Safety data on embryo biopsy for preimplantation genetic testing has been conflicting because of heterogeneous cohorts and the study of out-of-date assisted reproductive techniques. We aimed to address this gap in [...]
Bartolucci A, Alouf C, Angle M, Jindal, SK. Invited Review, Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology 36:218-222, 2024. PMID: 38695603. WHY WAS THIS STUDY CONDUCTED? Stakes have never been higher or the need greater for the recruitment and cultivation of leaders in laboratory science to navigate the direction of IVF. KEY FINDINGS Recruitment of scientists [...]
Kahn J, Wu H, Gerber R, Shah T, Lieman H, Pollack SE, Singh M, Jindal S. Human Reproduction 39:1504-11, 2024. PMID: 38783613. WHY WAS THIS STUDY CONDUCTED? After an IVF cycle cancellation, does changing the stimulation protocol affect the odds of live birth and recurrent cancellation in the subsequent cycle? KEY FINDINGS Using a large [...]
Gingold JA, Wu H, Lieman H, Singh M, Jindal S. Fertility and Sterility Reports 5:23-32, 2024. PMID: 38524206. WHY WAS THIS STUDY CONDUCTED? To compare clinical outcomes between non-indicated intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and conventional insemination. KEY FINDINGS Non-indicated ICSI was associated with reduced blastocyst availability in fresh cycles compared with IVF, leading to lower [...]
Peterson A, Wu H, Kappy M, Kucherov A, Singh M, Lieman H, Jindal S. Fertility and Sterility 121:291-8, 2024. PMID: 37952915. WHY WAS THIS STUDY CONDUCTED? To determine whether body mass index (BMI) was associated with live birth in patients undergoing transfer of frozen thawed preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) embryos. KEY FINDINGS A [...]
Gerber RS, Kappy M, Gingold J, Wu H, Lieman H, Singh M, Pollack S, Jindal S. Obstetrics and Gynecology 143:92-100, 2024. PMID: 37944144. WHY WAS THIS STUDY CONDUCTED? To compare obstetric and neonatal out comes after single embryo transfer (SET) compared with multiple embryo transfer (MET) from frozen-thawed transfer cycles of embryos that underwent pre [...]
This comprehensive guidance document for lab management and operations was created by Sangita K. Jindal Ph.D. as part of her work on the ASRM practice committee and published in August 2022. It is an update to a previous document from 2008 and is used nationally by all IVF labs as best practice guidance for lab operations, quality control, lab staffing and qualifications, and staffing volumes to ensure patient safety and optimal patient care.
