Abstract Background This study aims to investigate the influencing factors of pregnancy after laparoscopic oviduct anastomosis. Methods The data of 156 cases of laparoscopic oviduct anastomosis in our hospital were analyzed. Results The pregnancy rate decreased with age (P < 0.005). The pregnancy rate after six years of anastomosis was higher in those with ligation (P < 0.005). The postoperative pregnancy rate significantly increased in subjects with oviduct lengths of > 7 cm (P < 0.01). The pregnancy rate of isthmus end-to-end anastomosis was higher (P < 0.005). The pregnancy rate after bilateral tubal recanalization was higher than that after unilateral tubal recanalization (P < 0.005). The pregnancy rate after laparoscopic tubal ligation and laparoscopic anastomosis was higher than that of open tubal ligation and laparoscopic anastomosis (P < 0.005). Conclusion The pregnancy rate after laparoscopic oviduct anastomosis is higher in subjects below 35 years old, with a ligation duration of < 6 years, and a length of oviduct of > 7 cm, and those who underwent isthmus anastomosis and laparoscopic oviduct ligation and recanalization.

Abstract BackgroundThe outcome of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer is often determined according to follicles and estradiol levels following gonadotropin stimulation. However, there is no accurate indicator to predict pregnancy outcome, and it has not been determined how to choose subsequent drugs and dosage based on the ovarian response. This study aimed to make timely adjustments to follow-up medication to improve clinical outcomes based on the potential value of estradiol growth rate. MethodsSerum estradiol levels were measured on the day of gonadotrophin treatment (Gn0), four days later (Gn4), seven days later (Gn7), and on the trigger day (HCG). The ratio was used to determine the increase in estradiol levels. According to the ratio of estradiol increase, the patients were divided into four groups: group A1 (Gn4/Gn0≤6.44), group A2 (6.44˂Gn4/Gn0≤10.62), group A3 (10.62˂Gn4/Gn0 ≤21.33), and group A4 (Gn4/Gn0>21.33); group B1 (Gn7/Gn4≤2.39), group B2 (2.39˂Gn7/Gn4≤3.03), group B3 (3.03˂Gn7/Gn4≤3.84), and group B4 (Gn7/Gn4>3.84). We analyzed and compared the relationship between data in each group and pregnancy outcome. ResultsIn the statistical analysis, the estradiol levels of Gn4 (P = 0.029, P = 0.042), Gn7 (P< 0.001, P = 0.001), and HCG (P< 0.001, P = 0.002), as well as the ratios of Gn4/Gn0 (P = 0.004, P = 0.006), Gn7/Gn4 (P = 0.001, P = 0.002), and HCG/Gn0 (P< 0.001, P< 0.001) both had clinical guiding significance, and the lower one significantly reduced the pregnancy rate. The outcomes were positively linked to groups A (P = 0.040, P = 0.041) and B (P = 0.015, P = 0.017). The logistical regression analysis revealed that group A1 (OR = 0.440 [0.223–0.865]; P = 0.017, OR = 0.368 [0.169–0.804]; P = 0.012) and B1 (OR = 0.261 [0.126–0.541]; P< 0.001, OR = 0.299 [0.142–0.629]; P = 0.001) had opposite influence on outcomes. ConclusionMaintaining a serum estradiol increase ratio at least above 2.39 on Gn7/Gn4 may result in a higher pregnancy rate. When estradiol growth is not ideal, gonadotrophin dosage should be adjusted appropriately to ensure the desired outcome.

Abstract Study question Does the outcome of the first euploid frozen-thawed blastocyst embryo transfer affect the subsequent euploid FBT originating from the same cohort of oocytes? Summary answer The clinical pregnancy rate and ongoing pregnancy rate of the subsequent FBT are higher if a clinical pregnancy was attained in the first euploid FBT. What is known already Numerous factors including patient, cycle and embryological characteristics affect the outcome of an IVF treatment cycle. There is no data available whether the outcome of euploid FBT has an impact on the outcome of the subsequent euploid FBT of embryos originating from the same cohort of retrieved oocytes. Study design, size, duration The study enrolled cycles preimplantation genetic test for aneuploidy (PGT-A) performed between January 2016 and July 2019 at the Bahceci Fulya IVF Center. A total of 1051 patients with single euploid FBT were evaluated and resulted live birth (n = 589, live birth rate (LBR): 56%(589/1051)), miscarriage (n = 100, miscarriage rate (MR): 14.5% (100/689)) and no clinical pregnancy (n = 362, 34,4%, (362/1051)). 159 FBT after the first single euploid FBT originating from the same cohort of oocytes were analyzed. Participants/materials, setting, methods Second euploid FBT cycle after first FBT with a clinical pregnancy were compared to frozen-thawed cycles after a without a pregnancy. Logistic regression analysis was utilized to adjust for potential confounders including female age, body mass index, embryo quality, day of embryo frozen, number previous failed attempt, number of previous miscarriage, endometrial thickness, outcome of the first euploid FBT. Main results and the role of chance The pregnancy outcome from the first euploid FBT in the study group was resulted live birth (25.1%, (40/159)), miscarriage (15.7%, (25/159)) and no clinical pregnancy (59.1%, (94/159). The pregnancy outcome of the subsequent euploid embryo transfer from the same oocyte cohort was clinical pregnancy rate (CPR): (67.3%, (107/159) ongoing pregnancy rate (OPR) (52.2% (83/159) and MR (22.4%, (24/107)). The CPR in the subsequent euploid FBT was 80% (52/65) among patients who achieved a clinical pregnancy in the first euploid FBT and 58.5% (55/94) of those who did not (p = 0.0045). The OPR in the subsequent euploid FBT was 64.6% (42/65) among patients who achieved a clinical pregnancy in first euploid FBT and 43.6% (41/94) of those who did not (p = 0.009). On a multivariate regression analysis, clinical pregnancy in the first euploid FBT was a significant independent predictor for a pregnancy in the subsequent FBT transfer (p = 0.003). Limitations, reasons for caution The limitation of the study is in the retrospective nature of the study. As the PGT-A strategy significantly decreases number of transferable embryos, the sample size of the study is limited. Wider implications of the findings: Identifying predictive factors for the success of euploid FBT is important. These can help physicians while counseling patients regarding the outcome of the previous euploid FBT. Trial registration number NA

Abstract Study question Does the direction of formation for the first cleavage plane relative to the pronuclear axis affect clinical outcome? Summary answer A first cleavage division perpendicular to the pronuclear axis adversely affects the rate of embryo utilization for transfer or cryopreservation and the pregnancy outcome. What is known already It remains unclear how the first cleavage plane is determined in human embryos. By using time-lapse monitoring, our previous study (presented in ESHRE 2019) suggested that both the axis and locations of male and female pronuclei are involved in determining the first embryonic cleavage plane. Furthermore, by using immunofluorescence analysis, it was also revealed that most analyzed zygotes showed two pericentrin signals aligned around the interface between the male and female pronuclei. Our findings suggest that the pronuclear axis strongly influences the positions of the centrosomes, which become mitotic spindle poles and define the first cleavage plane. Study design, size, duration: From January 2015 to December 2017, time-lapse imaging (EmbryoScope®) of 3397 intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) oocytes was conducted. Of those, the relationship between the pronuclear axis and the first cleavage plane was analyzed in 607 normally fertilized embryos that cleaved to two cells and were obtained in 2015. Furthermore, of 3397 ICSI oocytes, 749 transferred embryos were classified based on the first cleavage patterns relative to the pronuclear axis, and the pregnancy rate was examined. Participants/materials, setting, methods A straight line connecting the centers of the pronuclei was defined as the 2PN axis. Based on the direction of the first cleavage relative to the 2PN axis, embryos were classified into three groups: parallel, perpendicular and intermediate. Fresh embryos were transferred on Day 2/3 (fresh-ET). Frozen and thawed embryos were transferred on Day 2/3 or Day 5 (F/T-ET). Clinical pregnancy was defined as confirmed gestational sac in the uterine cavity. Main results and the role of chance Of 607 analyzed embryos, 506 produced suitable images and were assigned to one of three groups: parallel (84.4%, n = 427), perpendicular (9.7%, n = 49) and intermediate (5.9%, n = 30). Embryos that formed a cleavage furrow parallel to the 2PN axis were significantly more frequent than others (perpendicular, intermediate) (P &lt; 0.001). The embryo utilization rate for transfer or cryopreservation was significantly lower in the perpendicular group than in the parallel group (30.7% vs. 69.3%, P &lt; 0.01). Furthermore, of 749 transferred embryos, 504 assigned to the parallel and perpendicular groups were selected (n = 470 and n = 34, respectively), and the pregnancy outcome was analyzed. The mean maternal age was not significantly different between groups. The pregnancy rate of embryos was 24.2% (n = 45/186) from fresh-ET and 39.4% (n = 112/284) from F/T-ET in the parallel group, and 0% (n = 0/14) from fresh-ET and 15.0% (n = 3/20) from F/T-ET in the perpendicular group. Regardless of the types of embryo transfer (fresh or F/T), the pregnancy rate was significantly lower in the perpendicular group than in the parallel group (P &lt; 0.01). In addition, one of three patients who became pregnant from the transfer of an embryo in the perpendicular group had a miscarriage. Limitations, reasons for caution Since only ICSI embryos were analyzed in this study, the influence of fertilization methods on subsequent development could not be investigated. Further studies including preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy may help determine the reasons why pregnancy rates differ between groups. Wider implications of the findings: We suggest that the 2PN axis is essential for determining the first cleavage plane because it seems to be involved in positioning the mitotic spindle poles. The direction of the first cleavage plane relative to the 2PN axis can be an important indicator for predicting embryo development and pregnancy outcome Trial registration number none

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of gonadotropin dose and endometrial thickness (EMT) on pregnancy outcome in patients undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI). Methods We retrospectively analyzed data from 361 patients with unexplained infertility or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) who underwent 930 IUI cycles treated with gonadotropins. Then, we measured the effects of gonadotropins and EMT on the clinical pregnancy rate. Finally, we assessed the association of various doses of gonadotropins on EMT. Results The dose of gonadotropins given and thickness of the endometrium were higher in the pregnancy group than in the nonpregnancy group (636.0 vs. 600.0 IU for gonadotropin dose; 9.15 vs. 8.70 mm for EMT). Clinical pregnancy rates were significantly improved by increasing the dose of gonadotropins (9.1%, <450 IU; 16.2%, 450–599 IU; 18.6%, 600–749 IU, and 17.3%, ≥750 IU), or by increased EMT (0%, <5.0 mm; 12.2%, 5.0–6.9 mm; 15.5%, 7.0–14.0 mm; and 33.3%, >14.0 mm). Conclusion Increasing the dose of gonadotropins to stimulate one follicle to develop may benefit endometrial proliferation and improve IUI outcomes.

BackgroundSome studies have demonstrated that adenomyosis patients can achieve a comparable pregnancy outcome with women with normal uteruses, while there is no unanimous conclusion at present.MethodWe recruited 65 adenomyosis patients and 260 frequency-matched control women with endometriosis at a ratio of 1:4 according to age. Clinical pregnancy rate, spontaneous abortion rate, and live birth rate were compared between these two groups after controlling other factors.ResultsCompared with endometriosis patients, adenomyosis patients had a higher antral follicle count (AFC) (12.71 vs 11.65, P=0.027). Though the two groups had the same number of embryos transferred, adenomyosis patients had an obviously declined implantation rate (31.91% vs 46.74%, P=0.005), clinical pregnancy rate (47.06% vs 64.42%, P=0.028), live birth rate (31.37% vs 54.81%, P=0.004), and significantly increased spontaneous abortion rate (33.33% vs 13.43%, P=0.034). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that adenomyosis had adverse influences on pregnancy outcome when age and the number of embryo transfers were controlled (adjusted OR=0.361, P=0.003).ConclusionEven after being matched with age, adenomyosis still had adverse influences on the pregnancy outcome of IVF in patients undergoing the long protocol.

Abstract Background: The effect of glucocorticoids (GCs) therapy for women with unexplained positive autoantibody is under debate. This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to evaluate whether GCs administration can improve the pregnancy outcome of this population.Methods: A meta-analysis based on a systematic review of PubMed, Embase, EBSCO, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, until January 2021, was used to evaluate pregnancy outcome of GCs treatment for women with unexplained recurrent fetal loss or infertility whose autoantibody positive, but does not meet any classification criteria for autoimmune diseases.Results: We found GCs treatment improved clinical pregnancy rate (RR 2.19, 95% CI 1.64 to 2.92) and live birth rate (RR 1.92, 95% CI 1.17 to 3.16), especially when started GCs administration before pregnancy (clinical pregnancy rate: RR 2.30, 95% CI 1.58 to 3.34; live birth rate: RR 2.30, 95% CI 1.58 to 3.34). However, no effect of GCs on miscarriage rate was found (RR 0.75, 95% CI 0.55 to 1.02) regardless of time of drug administration.Conclusions: Our systematic review and meta-analysis surports the rational use of GCs in women with unexplained positive autoantibody.
