Purpose Relationships between follicular fluid levels of IL-6 with ovarian response and clinical pregnancy were evaluated in IVF-ET cycles.Methods Follicular fluid was collected from ovarian follicles >= 14 mm, pooled for each patient, and IL-6 levels were assessed using ELISA (n=68). Relationships between IL-6 levels and IVF cycle parameters were assessed using nonparametric tests, and between IL-6 levels and clinical pregnancy using multivariable logistic regression analyses.Results Significant positive correlations were observed between IL-6 with age (p=0.035), and IL-6 with estradiol on the day of hCG (p=0.011). On adjusted analyses, IVF cycles in patients with IL-6 levels
