Abstract | ||
Background: Female fertility declines sharply after 40 due to diminished ovarian reserve, compromised oocyte quality, and a significant increase in aneuploidy rates. In vitro fertilization (IVF) strategies, including repeated cycles, embryo pooling, and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A), present complex decision-making challenges requiring personalized, data-driven approaches. Objective: This study aims to develop and evaluate AI-driven predictive models using Meta AI to optimize fertility treatment strategies in women over 40, assisting in selecting between repeated IVF cycles and embryo pooling with PGT-A. Methods: A generative AI model (Llama 3.2) was employed to extract and synthesize data from peer-reviewed literature. Expert systems were integrated to formulate a structured decision-support framework, leveraging a knowledge base and inference engine. Two predictive models were developed: 1. Pre-Treatment Evaluation Score (PTES) – Assesses overall fertility potential. 2. Embryo Quality Refinement Score (EQRS) – Incorporates embryo-specific factors to refine treatment recommendations. Results: Both models demonstrated high predictive accuracy and clinical relevance. Higher scores indicated a preference for embryo pooling with PGT-A, while lower scores supported repeated IVF cycles. Performance metrics, including precision and AUC-ROC, confirmed the models' efficacy in predicting live birth probability. Conclusion: AI-driven predictive modeling offers a novel, data-supported approach to personalized fertility care. These models facilitate evidence-based decision-making, potentially improving clinical outcomes. Further validation in real-world clinical settings is warranted. | ||
