  1. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM.
  2. ECF Group: patients with endometrial cavity fluid accumulation (equal or higher1.0 mm); Control Group: patients with bilateral tubal resection and without endometrial cavity fluid accumulation. a: CES means cumulative embryo score, defined, on the day of embryo transfer, by the multiplication of grading of fragmentation pattern of each embryo with blastomere number of the embryo to produce a single score for each embryo, and, then, by the summation of all single scores obtained from all the embryos transferred [10].
