Abstract

Infertility is the failure to become pregnant after 1 year or more of frequent, unprotected sexual intercourse without taking contraceptives. It has two categories primary and secondary infertility. study aimed to use Inhibin-B for the prognosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOs) and premature ovarian failure (POF) in female infertility patients. The study was designed A case-control study, including (120) females with a range of age (20-40) years, subdivided into two groups (60) healthy apparent females used as control, and (60) infertile females distributed between (37 PCOs), (23 POF). Inhibin-B serum was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that the BMI level of patients was (30.95 ± 3.42) as compared to control (27.9 ± 1.93). In PCOs according to age above and under (35 years) showed a significant increase (p≤0.0001) in Inhibin-B (273.55 ± 75.25), (234.91±52.43) respectively, and a decrease in POF (18.96 ±1.21). Inhibin-B (95% CI: 0.907 - 1.000; P-value: 0.001; Cutoff Point: 77.347; AUC: 95.417%) with Sensitivity to Specificity (91.667% - 98.333%); and Accuracy: 95.000%. The study concluded that the increase in the levels of serum Inhibin-B could be considered a useful indicator of the likelihood that a female of reproductive age will have PCOs and POF that are diagnosed by the Rotterdam standards.
