The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on pregnancy outcome after intracytoplasmic sperm\ninjection (ICSI). The study analyzed pregnancy outcome of 349 women who underwent ICSI by their BMI: <25, 25ââ?¬â??<30, and\n?30 kg/m2.The associations were generated by applying logistic regression models. A significant reduction in positive pregnancy\noutcome was observed among overweight and obese women (odds ratio (OR) = 0.50; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.25ââ?¬â??0.99 for\noverweight women andOR = 0.45; 95% CI = 0.20ââ?¬â??0.89 for obesewomen). These estimates showthat the pregnancy rates are reduced\nwith increasing BMI. The effect of obesity on pregnancy outcome was absent when three and more embryos were transferred. Our\nstudy contributes to the reports linking overweight and obesity with decreased positive pregnancy outcome after ICSI and suggests\nwomenââ?¬â?¢s age, infertility type, and number of embryos transferred to modify this reducing effect.
