In women receiving assisted reproductive treatment, intrauterine lactobacilli dominance has been associated with higher rates of pregnancy achievement. This randomized controlled trial conducted in the fertility clinic of the university hospital from 7 August 2019 to May 2021, aimed to compare the clinical outcome of embryo transfer in frozen-thaw cycles with Lactobacillus supplementation prior to embryo transfer and the standard treatment. A total of 340 infertile women underwent randomization. The biochemical and clinical pregnancy rates were comparable between the groups (39.9 and 34.2% in the study group vs. 41.8 and 31.7% in the control group); however, the miscarriage rate was significantly decreased in the study group (9.5 vs. 19.1%, respectively, p = 0.02), [OR = 0.44, 95% CI (0.23, 0.86)]. Among 49 women diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis, the live birth rate in the study group was higher than the control group (42.31 vs. 26.09%, p = 0.23), [OR = 2.08, 95% CI (0.62, 6.99)]. In the blastocyst transfer group (n = 206), the live birth rate was significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (35.71 vs. 22.22%, p = 0.03) [OR = 1.9, 95% CI (1.05, 3.59)]. Therefore, intravaginal lactobacilli supplementation before embryo transfer in the frozen-thaw cycle did not improve the biochemical and clinical pregnancy rate in the general population but significantly reduced the miscarriage rate.Trial Registration: TCTR20190429001 (29/04/2019) @ www.thaiclinicaltrials.org .
在接受辅助生殖治疗的女性中,宫腔内乳杆菌优势与较高的妊娠成功率相关。这项 2019 年 8 月 7 日至 2021 年 5 月在大学医院生育诊所进行的随机对照试验旨在比较胚胎移植前宫腔内补充乳杆菌与标准治疗在冻融周期中的临床结局。共有 340 名不孕妇女被随机分组。研究组的生化妊娠率和临床妊娠率与对照组相当(分别为 39.9%和 34.2%;31.7%);然而,研究组的流产率显著降低(分别为 9.5%和 19.1%,p=0.02)[OR=0.44,95%CI(0.23,0.86)]。在 49 名诊断为细菌性阴道病的妇女中,研究组的活产率高于对照组(分别为 42.31%和 26.09%,p=0.23)[OR=2.08,95%CI(0.62,6.99)]。在囊胚移植组(n=206)中,研究组的活产率显著高于对照组(分别为 35.71%和 22.22%,p=0.03)[OR=1.9,95%CI(1.05,3.59)]。因此,在冻融周期中胚胎移植前宫腔内补充乳杆菌并不能提高普通人群的生化妊娠率和临床妊娠率,但显著降低了流产率。试验注册:TCTR20190429001(29/04/2019)@www.thaiclinicaltrials.org 。
