A randomised controlled trial of a preconceptional dietary intervention in women undergoing ivf treatment (prepare trial)

Kermack et al. BMC Women's Health 2014, 14:130http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6874/14/130 A randomised controlled trial of apreconceptional dietary intervention in womenundergoing IVF treatment (PREPARE trial) Alexandra J Kermack1,2,3*, Philip C Calder1,3, Franchesca D Houghton1, Keith M Godfrey1,3,4and Nicholas S Macklon1,2,3 Background: In vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment provides an opportunity to study early developmental responsesto periconceptional dietary interventions. Retrospective studies have suggested links between preconception dietand fertility, and more recently, a "Mediterranean" diet has been reported to increase pregnancy rates by up to40%. In addition, a prospective study examining increased intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fats demonstrated aquickened rate of embryo development after IVF. However, up to now, few prospective randomised controlled trialshave investigated the impact of periconceptional dietary interventions on fertility outcomes.
