Dataset from A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Clinical Trial of the Effects of Oxygen Tension on Clinical In Vitro Fertilization Outcomes

This was a multi-center, prospective, double-blind clinical trial of physiologic (5%) oxygen tension in culture media vs. standard of care, atmospheric (SOC, 20%) oxygen tension with 840 eligible couples recruited to participate. The randomization scheme was coordinated through the central data coordinating center, and the randomization was stratified by age group of the woman (18-34, 35-37, 38-39, and 40-42) and each participating site. Couples were randomized to either have their gametes and embryos placed in a physiologic (5%) oxygen atmosphere or in the currently widely used atmospheric (20%) oxygen atmosphere.
