    BackgroundThe variability in indications and low rate of pregnancy compared to IVF have led many authors to dismiss IUI and offer IVF first-line instead.ObjectivesTo determine what are the predictive factors for clinical pregnancy (CP) and live birth (LB) in intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles following controlled ovarian stimulation (COS).MethodsRetrospective unicentric study, between January 2009 and December 2016. Patients aged 18 to <43 years who had an IUI following COS with gonadotropins. Statistical analysis was performed using Chi square and logistic regression.Results4146 cycles (1312 couples) included. Mean age was 34.7 +/- 4years. LBR per couple was 39% for anovulatory infertility compared to (p < 0.05) unex-plained infertility (28.6%), mixed (23.4%), male factor (20.1%), unilateral tubal (14.2%), low ovarian reserve (13.2%), and endometriosis (stage I and II) (11.1%). Multivariate analysis showed the following factors were associated with CP: Cycle rank ≤3 (Odds ratio (OR) = 1.5, 95% CI: 1.2-1.9, p < 0.001), age <38 years (OR = 1.5, 95% CI: 1.2-2, p < 0.001), ≥2 preovulatory follicles (OR = 1.4, 95% CI: 1.1-1.8, p = 0.004), TMSC ≥ 5 millions (OR = 1.8, 95% CI: 1.3-2.4, p < 0.001). Endometriosis, low ovarian reserve, unilateral tubal and male factor had a negative impact on CPR (OR = 0.3, 95% CI: 0.1-0.5, p < 0.001; OR = 0.4, 95% CI: 0.3-0.7, p < 0.001; OR = 0.5 95% CI: 0.3-0.9, p = 0.01; OR = 0.6, 95% CI: 0.4-0.8, p = 0.002 respectively) compared to anovulatory infertility.ConclusionWe confirm that IUI can be an efficient treatment in selected indications. Young patients with anovulatory infertility seem to be the ideal candidates, with a 39% LBR per couple.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
