The objective of this study is to determine if IVF outcome disparities exist among MENA women in the USA in comparison to a control group of Caucasian women.
A retrospective cohort study comparing MENA (N = 190) and Caucasian (N = 200) women undergoing their first IVF cycle between 5/2006 and 5/2014 was carried out at an academically affiliated fertility practice. All MENA cycles during that time period undergoing IVF/ICSI using autologous embryos and blastocyst transfers were compared to a control group of Caucasian women.
MENA women were significantly younger (32.9 vs 34.5, P < 0.005) and had a lower BMI (25.2 vs 27.1, P < 0.001). Male factor infertility was higher among partners of MENA women (62 vs 50%, P < 0.05). MENA women experienced decreased live birth rates per blastocyst transfer compared to Caucasian women after controlling for age and BMI (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.35-0.85 P = 0.007). The odds of a miscarriage were also significantly higher among MENA women (OR 2.55, 95% CI 1.04-6.27 P = 0.036).
Middle Eastern/North African women have worse IVF outcomes with decreased live birth rates per blastocyst transfer and increased miscarriage rates compared to Caucasian women.
本研究的目的是确定与白人女性对照组相比,美国中东和北非(MENA)地区的女性在体外受精(IVF)治疗结果上是否存在差异。
在一家学术附属的生育诊所开展了一项回顾性队列研究,比较了2006年5月至2014年5月期间进行首次IVF周期治疗的MENA女性(N = 190)和白人女性(N = 200)。将该时间段内所有使用自体胚胎并进行囊胚移植的MENA IVF周期与白人女性对照组进行比较。
MENA女性明显更年轻(32.9岁对34.5岁,P < 0.005),体重指数(BMI)更低(25.2对27.1,P < 0.001)。MENA女性伴侣的男性因素不孕症发生率更高(62%对50%,P < 0.05)。在控制年龄和BMI后,与白人女性相比,MENA女性每次囊胚移植后的活产率降低(比值比[OR] 0.55,95%置信区间[CI] 0.35 - 0.85,P = 0.007)。MENA女性流产的几率也显著更高(OR 2.55,95% CI 1.04 - 6.27,P = 0.036)。
与白人女性相比,中东/北非女性的IVF治疗结果更差,每次囊胚移植后的活产率降低,流产率增加。
