This study investigated the role of \u03b2-human chorionic gonadotropin (\u03b2-hCG), anti-mullerian hormone (AMH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and prolactin (PRL) in predicting pregnancy outcomes and determined cutoff values in women undergoing ARTs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This prospective study included 153 women who underwent infertility treatment in the Department of Reproductive Medicine of the Yas Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences (Tehran, Iran). Serum \u03b2-hCG level on day 14 after embryo transfer and serum AMH, TSH, and PRL were measured. Patients with \u03b2-hCG levels &gt;25 mIU\/ml were included in the study. Finally, any statistically significant relationships between these serum values and clinical pregnancy and live birth rate were investigated. To predict pregnancy outcomes with \u03b2-hCG levels, a receiver operating characteristic curve was used to estimate the \u03b2-hCG cutoff values.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Serum \u03b2-hCG levels were significantly higher in live-birth patients than in other patients. The \u03b2-hCG cutoff value for live births was 830 mIU\/ml, with an AUC of 0.5920, sensitivity of 61.04%, and specificity of 56.58%.
