To compare the clinical outcomes of elective single morula embryo transfer (eSMET) versus elective single blastocyst embryo transfer (eSBET) in selected patients.
This study was a retrospective study which analyzed for 271 cycles in women under 37 years of age who are undergoing their first or second trial of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) from January 2008 to December 2009. The eSMET was performed on day 4 (n = 130) and the eSBET was conducted on day 5 (n = 141).
The clinical pregnancy rate (51.5% vs. 51.8%, p = 0.97), implantation rate (52.3% vs. 52.5%, p = 0.98), and live birth rate (39.2% vs. 44.7%, p = 0.36) were similar in the eSMET and eSBET groups, respectively. The miscarriage rate of the eSMET group (23.9%) was slightly higher than that of the eSBET group (13.7%) (p = 0.12), without reaching statistical significance. There was only one case of monozygotic twin pregnancy in each group.
The clinical outcomes of day 4 eSMET were comparable to those of day 5 eSBET. Therefore, day 4 eSMET is a viable option or an alternative to day 5 eSBET, with no difference in success rates.
比较选择性单枚桑葚胚(eSMET)移植与选择性单枚囊胚(eSBET)移植在特定患者中的临床结局。
这是一项回顾性研究,分析了 2008 年 1 月至 2009 年 12 月期间年龄在 37 岁以下的首次或第二次体外受精-胚胎移植(IVF-ET)的女性的 271 个周期。第 4 天进行 eSMET(n=130),第 5 天进行 eSBET(n=141)。
eSMET 组和 eSBET 组的临床妊娠率(51.5% vs. 51.8%,p=0.97)、种植率(52.3% vs. 52.5%,p=0.98)和活产率(39.2% vs. 44.7%,p=0.36)相似。eSMET 组的流产率(23.9%)略高于 eSBET 组(13.7%)(p=0.12),但无统计学意义。两组各有一例单卵双胎妊娠。
第 4 天的 eSMET 临床结局与第 5 天的 eSBET 相似。因此,第 4 天的 eSMET 是第 5 天的 eSBET 的可行选择或替代方案,成功率无差异。
