Phosphate concentrations in follicular fluid during assisted reproductive treatment: relevance for ovarian function and fertility outcomes

Table 4 Live birth rates

	Live birth: No	Live birth: Yes	Total	P-value
Follicular calcium in the lowest tertile and/or follicular phosphate in the middle or highest tertile	61 (79%)	30 (91%)	91	0.111
Follicular calcium in the middle or highest tertile and follicular phosphate in lowest tertile	16 (21%)	3 (9%)	19	0.111
Total	77	33

Birth rates in the group who had either a follicular fluid calcium concentration in the lowest tertile and/or a follicular fluid phosphate concentration in the middle or highest tertile, and the group who had calcium concentration in the middle or highest tertile and a phosphate concentration in the lowest tertile, respectively. Differences between groups was tested using Chi²-test
