    Summary
    Although the number of embryos transferred and the grade of the embryos were similar in the two groups, the patients in the luteal-phase agonist group had significantly higher rates of implantation and clinical pregnancy rates ( P < 0.05).
    4 context sentences
    Summary · context
    The study population consisted of 164 patients who underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) after ovulation induction by gonadotrophins and GnRH antagonist for the prevention of a premature LH surge.
    Summary · context
    For luteal-phase support, all the cases received intravaginal 600 mg micronized progesterone.

    In this prospective study, patients were randomly assigned to two groups.
    Summary · context
    In one group, patients received an additional single dose of GnRH agonist (0.5 mg leuprolide acetate) subcutaneously on day 6 after ICSI, whereas the patients in the other group did not.
