Purpose To validate the use of the ovarian sensitivity index (OSI) as a measure of ovarian response during in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Methods This is a retrospective study carried out in an assisted reproduction unit in a teaching hospital. We analysed data from 2,556 women undergoing t...
