Abstract
The expansion of indications for assisted reproductive technology has led to significant implications for assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs worldwide. More than 7 million children in the world were born using ART. Modern clinical practice in the field of reproductive sciences is aimed not only at increasing the effectiveness, but also at the safety of treatment. ART, like any other type of therapy, may be combined with negative side effects. Both the correct prediction of the risks associated with treatment and a personalized approach ensure the absolute safety of infertility treatment using in vitro fertilization. In this regard, over the past decade, a number of new research approaches have been noted that use ART methods integrated into clinical practice: cycle segmentation with subsequent embryo transfer and the elective transfer of one embryo. New approaches provide a control in relation to ovarian stimulation and a reduction in the number of transferred embryos, which helps to minimize primarily adverse perinatal outcomes. Predicting the risks and outcomes of treatment using mathematical modeling is the application of good clinical practice.
