TI  - IVF/ICSI frozen replacement cycles; every cycle? Opinion expressed after a 
      systematic review of the literature.
PG  - 173-5
AB  - OBJECTIVE: To determine whether in vitro fertilization (IVF), frozen replacement 
      cycles offer better outcomes than fresh cycles in order to support, or not, a 
      possible shift towards total replacement of fresh IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm 
      injection (ICSI) cycles from frozen elective transfers (FETs). STUDY DESIGN: 
      Systematic review; opinion paper. RESULTS: Initial results seem to support a 
      shift in current practice towards frozen cycles. CONCLUSION: Initial results may 
      support replacement all fresh IVF/ICSI cycles with FETs, as this could be a safer 
      and equally effective strategy. However, robust evidence from randomized 
      controlled trials is needed if this will be generally applied.
