The improvement of clinical outcome provided by time-lapse technology (TLT) in IVF over conventional incubation (CI) still remains controversial. This study aimed at evaluating whether the exclusive use of time-lapse technology (TLT) during whole IVF care improves total cumulative live birth rate (TCLBR) and shortens time to live birth (TTLB) as compared to the use of CI in couples undergoing ICSI.
