Table 4. Age, hormone levels and follicle count in patients with good and poor response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. Results (median and interquartile range) are given for the whole study population (all), and subsequently grouped by age or FSH levels. Comparisons between groups were made using a Mann-Whitney test.
