  1. Paired t tests for continuous variables and McNemar test for categorical variables.
  2. DO: Donated oocyte; AO: Autologeous oocyte.
  3. Categorical variables are presented as numerator and denominator values (%), and continuous variables as mean (SD, standard deviation) for each group of interest.
  4. *Forceps and Ventouse deliveries as proportion of all assisted vaginal deliveries.
  5. ** Elective caesarean sections as proportion of all caesarean sections.
