Abstract excerpt

Abstract Embryo selection (ES) during IVF is expected to select the ‘best’ embryo(s) from among a cycle’s embryo cohort and has been a core concept of IVF for over 40 years. However, among 36 492 articles on ES in a recent PubMed search, we were unable to locate even a single one questioning the concept that, beyond standard oocyte and embryo morphology, ES has remained an unproven hypothesis.
