PurposeSerum anti-Mullerian hormone shows a strong positive correlation to the quantitative ovarian reserve but its correlation to embryo quality is unclear. This study assessed the association between serum AMH as a marker of ovarian reserve and embryo quality, using the technology of time-lapse imaging of the embryos in women undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment.Methods304 embryos from 198 women undergoing IVF were included in the study. Serum AMH was assessed for all women. Embryo quality was assessed with the known implantation data (KID) score generated by the time-lapse imaging system.ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference in mean serum AMH among different KID score categories (p = 0.135). This remained non-significant after controlling for confounding variables (p = 0.305).ConclusionsThe results of our study show no significant association between serum AMH and embryo quality in women undergoing IVF treatment when embryo quality was assessed using the KID scores generated by time-lapse imaging which is a better method of embryo assessment rather than conventional morphological assessment.
