Abstract
Success rates from in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in the long term are dependent on selection procedures with regard to continuation into further IVE episodes. Publications on success rates in successive episodes will give incentives to adapt selection criteria, but if these publications do not deal explicitly with patient selection, the adaptations might change their direction every time: the pendulum danger.Keywords
