Participants were classified according to 3 physicians who transferred the embryos: ([group 1\u2009=\u2009164 patients]; [group 2\u2009=\u2009233 patients]; [group 3\u2009=\u2009360 patients]).

The numbers of oocytes retrieved, metaphase II (MII), 2 pronucleus (2PN), , transferred embryo, fertilization rate, day of embryo transfer, the catheter effect and embryo transfer technique, and clinical pregnancy rates (CPRs) were also comparable between the groups (p\u2009&gt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Our data suggests that the physician who transfers the embryos has no impact on CPRs in patients who have undergone IVF-ICSI, but further studies with more participants are required to elucidate this
