Clinical outcomes following selection of human preimplantation embryos with time-lapse monitoring: a systematic review.

Time-lapse monitoring (TLM) has emerged as a novel technology to perform semi-quantitative evaluation of embryo morphology and developmental kinetics in assisted reproduction. While this method has already been introduced into clinical practice in many laboratories, it is unclear whether it adds value to conventional morphology. Most studies only report blastocyst formation as the primary end-point. The aim of this systematic review is to provide a critical evaluation of the available studies that report clinical outcomes following embryo selection with TLM.
