  1. LB, live birth; CLBR, cumulative live birth rate; OR, odds ratio
  2. a CLBR: cumulative live birth was defined as the delivery of one or more living infants in the first and subsequent frozen-thawed cycles. The cumulative live birth rate was calculated as the number of cumulative live births divided by the number of COS cycles
  3. * The multivariate model was adjusted for age, body mass index, cause of infertility, FT4, TSH, COS protocols, type of transfer (fresh vs. frozen), type of transferred embryo (cleavage-stage embryo vs. blastocyst), and fertilization method (IVF vs. ICSI).
