Background: Repeated implantation failure (RIF) after in vitro
fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET) can
be a devastating reality for some patients with infertility. Our objective was to
evaluate the potential role of the complete blood count (CBC)
parameters, on treatment outcome in patients with repeated IVF implantation
failure. Methods: This retrospective clinical study, involving a total
of 173 patients, consisted of 64 patients with RIF who underwent a fresh IVF-ET
cycle, underwent 3 or more IVF cycles, and 109 patients in the control group who
became pregnant in the first IVF-ET cycle. Results: Duration of
infertility, number of grade 2 embryos and red cell distribution width (RDW) were
significantly higher in RIF patients (p
