Audio Journal of Medicine, August 2nd 2007 Reporting from: 23rd Annual Conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, 1-4 July 2007, Lyon, France Single Embryo Transfer: Just as High Live Birth Rates as Double Transfer, But Without Risks REFERENCE: O-004 KERSTI LUNDIN, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Göteborg, Sweden The same birth rates following in-vitro fertilisation can be achieved with single embryo transfer as with double transfer, according to the findings of a study from Sweden. A retrospective investigation looked at whether multiple births, and other risk factors associated with double embryo transfer, can be avoided when single transfer is used whilst still achieving the same live delivery rates. Sarah Maxwell talked with study author Kersti Lundin during the European fertility conference in Lyon.
