This study was a retrospective cohort analysis of OI/IUI cycles performed between 2011 and 2021 at the UC Health Center for Reproductive Health. There were 3712 OI/IUI cycles performed during this time frame, which were reviewed, of which the cycles included in this analysis represent a subset. Study approval was granted by the Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human Subjects at the University in June 2021. All data were deidentified upon collection and patients were not asked to actively participate.
All data were obtained from Epic electronic medical records and stored in a database created with Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) hosted at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. REDCap is a secure, web-based application designed to support data capture for research studies, providing (1) an intuitive interface for validated data entry; (2) audit trails for tracking data manipulation and export procedures; (3) automated export procedures for seamless data downloads to common statistical packages; and (4) procedures for importing data from external sources.11 (link)
