Cleavage pattern predicts developmental potential of day 3 human embryos produced by IVF. Issue 6 (June 2015) - Yang, S.T.
Highlights We propose a hierarchical classification model to select day 3 embryos with high potential for development into blastocysts based on the severity and occurrence of abnormal divisions during the initial three embryo cleavages. In a prospective observational study, the efficiency of this classification model was assessed and validated. Cleavage patterns can predict the developmental potential of day 3 human embryos.
