The comparison of two gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists in an in vitro fertilization program.

What Was Tested

The paper reports a study of Chorionic Gonadotropin and Buserelin, published as a randomized controlled trial.

To compare two gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a), buserelin acetate and leuprolide acetate [LA], used in combination with gonadotropins in ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Who Took Part

The age groups tagged for this paper are adults, women only.

Thirty-five pairs of IVF patients who were matched on age, indication, and number of attempts.

These women were randomized to receive either buserelin acetate plus gonadotropins (group B) or LA plus gonadotropins (group L).

How the Study Was Run

The researchers set it up as a randomized study.

Because people in this Chorionic Gonadotropin study were split into groups at random, differences between the groups are less likely to reflect who happened to join each one.
