Very low birth weight and multiple logistic regression to account for confounding variables.

| Age (<35 versus ≥35 years) | 0.47 | 1.04 (0.17–6.30) | 0.97 | Duration of ovarian stimulation (<9 versus ≥9 days) | 0.54 | 0.96 (0.19–5.44) | 0.75 | Gonadotropin dose (<2000 versus ≥2000 IU) | 0.41 | 0.71 (0.44–6.56) | 0.44 | Peak E2 level (<2000 versus ≥2000 pg/Ml) | 0.19 | 0.81 (0.55–1.19) | 0.29 | Total number of oocytes (<10 versus ≥10) | 0.26 | 0.98 (0.59–1.63) | 0.94 | Blastocyst-stage ET (yes versus no) | 0.40 | 0.88 (0.36–2.17) | 0.78 |
