  1. A GEE model controlling for patient and cycle number was constructed to test the association of multiple clinical parameters with pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate or live birth rate. Association was noted as odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence intervals. Model significance was noted as ***(p<0.001), **(p<0.01) or *(p<0.05)
