To observe whether early cleavage can be a predictor of embryo developmental potential, pregnancy and implantation rates.
A total of 9,544 embryos in 1,095 in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles were observed with regard to the appearance of early cleavage at 25-29 h post-insemination.
A significantly higher proportion of excellent quality embryos were observed in the early cleavage group compared to the late cleavage group (52.5 versus 28.9%, P < 0.01). In the early cleavage group there was also a higher rate of pregnancy per transfer compared with the late cleavage group (38.7 versus 26.3%, P < 0.01). In addition, we found that transfer of only one early cleavage embryo resulted in a high pregnancy rate (38.5%) and a low multiple pregnancy rate (18.0%).
Early cleavage is a strong indicator of embryo quality, and may be used as an additional criterion in the selection of embryos for transfer to increase pregnancy rate and reduce multiple pregnancy rate.
观察早期卵裂是否可作为胚胎发育潜能、妊娠率和种植率的预测指标。
对 1095 个体外受精或卵胞浆内单精子注射周期的 9544 个胚胎,观察受精后 25-29 小时早期卵裂的外观。
与晚期卵裂组相比,早期卵裂组优质胚胎的比例明显更高(52.5%比 28.9%,P<0.01)。早期卵裂组的每周期妊娠率也高于晚期卵裂组(38.7%比 26.3%,P<0.01)。此外,我们发现仅移植一个早期卵裂胚胎即可获得较高的妊娠率(38.5%)和较低的多胎妊娠率(18.0%)。
早期卵裂是胚胎质量的一个有力指标,可作为选择胚胎移植的附加标准,以提高妊娠率,降低多胎妊娠率。
