Comparing Three Success Rates of Infertility Treatment and Providing More Real Rate

Background: Treatment of infertility has progressed remarkably in recent years, with different rates for the success of treatment. Calculation of the rate of treatment success is done in a number of ways. The purpose of this article is to compare the treatment success rate of male infertility with three different methods and propose a rate closer to reality. Material and method: In a historical cohort, data of 323 couples were gathered. Given the live birth for treatment success, the success rate was calculated and interpreted by determining the ratio, conditional probability, and life table. Results: In a five-year period and considering repeated treatment for couples, the ratio was45.2%. The calculation of success rate in the conditional probability method rate was 75% and the lifetime of the success rate was 78%. Conclusion: The reason for the change in the rate of success is the numbers included in the numerator and the denominator of fraction. In calculating the success rate, treatment repeat and the presence of unsuccessful couples should be applied. Also, their data of who leave the treatment should be entered into the calculation. These are the main reasons for changing the success rate that is calculated in the survival analysis. Other researchers also use the Survival Analysis to calculate the success rate and it seems calculated rate by this method is close to reality
