Abstract

This study aimed at assessing quality of life (QoL) by means of a validated measurement tool (FertiQoL) in German infertile patients before a first IVF/ICSI cycle with ancillary assessment of changes in FertiQoL scores after a failed first cycle and the predictive capacity of FertiQoL scores for treatment discontinuation.
