The objective of our study is
to determine if there is any correlation between blood AMH levels before the
pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes in a subfertile population.
The study will be a
retrospective review of patient records of women who had AMH levels checked and
delivered at AUBMC.
Data will be collected by review of medical records of all women presenting to one of the physicians in the division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (JA, GG, A.A-M, and AH) who conceived and delivered between January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2016.
