Methods: In our retrospective, cross-sectional cohort study conducted at a single tertiary center, medical records of women aged 19 to 43 years were analyzed. Logistic regression models were employed to identify the prognostic factors associated with clinical pregnancy after IVF in patients with tubal factor infertility, excluding cases with hydrosalpinx. Results: Data from 219 women diagnosed with tubal occlusion were compared to 1140 cases with non-tubal indication, covering a total of 1359 IVF cycles. A lower maternal age (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 0.89, p = 0.001) and a higher embryo quality (AOR: 1.26, p = 0.01) emerged as important factors in clinical pregnancy in the tubal infertility group. Moreover, a lower maternal (AOR:0.91, p &lt; 0.01) and paternal age (p = 0.001), and favorable semen quality (AOR: 1.32, p = 0.03) were critical determinants in the non-tubal infertility group. BMI was generally higher in tubal infertility patients (p = 0.01). Furthermore, FSH level (AOR: 0.93, p = 0.004), AMH level (p &lt; 0.04), number of embryos transferred (AOR: 2.04, p &lt; 0.001), and embryo quality (AOR: 1.26, p &lt; 0.001) came into prominence only in the non-tubal infertility group. The clinical pregnancy rate (34.2%) of women with tubal occlusion did not differ significantly from those in other forms of infertility undergoing IVF (35.4%). Conclusions: Although tubal infertility is typically anticipated to yield the highest clinical pregnancy rates following IVF, it is crucial to acknowledge that both maternal and paternal characteristics can also significantly impact the outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13195754","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,27]],"date-time":"2024-09-27T03:44:13Z","timestamp":1727408653000},"page":"5754","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Pre- and Procedural Factors Influencing the Success of In Vitro Fertilization: Evaluating Embryo Quality and Clinical Pregnancy in Cases of Tubal Factor Infertility"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7485-9895","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zoltan","family":"Kozinszky","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Capio Specialized Center for Gynecology, Solna, 182 88 Stockholm, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Medical School, University of Szeged, 6725 Szeged, Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Krist\u00f3f","family":"Bereczki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Medical School, University of Szeged, 6725 Szeged, Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0420-8226","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Viktor","family":"Vedelek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genetics, Faculty of Science and Informatics, University of Szeged, 6726 Szeged, Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Petra","family":"Bicskei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Reproductive Medicine, Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Medical School, University of Szeged, 6723 Szeged, Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mariann","family":"Tabi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Reproductive Medicine, Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Medical School, University of Szeged, 6723 Szeged, Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Csaba","family":"Ekes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Reproductive Medicine, Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Medical School, University of Szeged, 6723 Szeged, Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"No\u00e9mi","family":"Lajk\u00f3","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Reproductive Medicine, Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Medical School, University of Szeged, 6723 Szeged, Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olga","family":"Nagy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Medical School, University of Szeged, 6725 Szeged, Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4040-4184","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rita","family":"Sinka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genetics, Faculty of Science and Informatics, University of Szeged, 6726 Szeged, Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"V\u00e1gv\u00f6lgyi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Medical School, University of Szeged, 6725 Szeged, Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00e1nos","family":"Z\u00e1dori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Reproductive Medicine, Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Medical School, University of Szeged, 6723 Szeged, Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"251","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2023.02.036","article-title":"Does maternal age affect assisted reproduction technology success rates after euploid embryo transfer?
