Comparison of in vitro fertilisation/intracytoplasmic sperm injection on live birth rates in couples with non-male factor infertility and advanced maternal age.

In couples with advanced maternal age and non-male factor infertility, standard IVF insemination appears to increase the chance of a live birth compared with ICSI. As such, the results of this study support the use of routine IVF as the preferred insemination technique for older women in non-male factor infertility. However, future randomised controlled trials are still required to assess this policy.
