The role of assisted hatching in in vitro fertilization: a guideline

There is moderate evidence that assisted hatching does not significantly improve live birth rates in fresh assisted reproductive technology cycles and insufficient evidence for the benefit of assisted hatching in patients with poor prognosis or undergoing frozen embryo transfer cycles. This document replaces the document of the same name published in 2014. ((C) 2022 by American Society for Reproductive Medicine.)

Automated summary

There is no significant improvement in live birth rates in fresh assisted reproductive technology cycles with assisted hatching, and the benefits of assisted hatching in patients with poor prognosis or undergoing frozen embryo transfer cycles are inconclusive.
