Do patients with antibiotic-cured chronic endometritis (CCE) have a comparable pregnancy outcome to those with non-chronic endometritis (NCE) in the subsequent frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle?
A retrospective cohort analysis included 833 patients in their first FET cycles with single euploid embryo transfer. Chronic endometritis (≥5 CD138+ plasma cells per high-power field [CD138+/HPF]) was treated with standard antibiotic therapy. Patients were classified into two groups: the NCE group (n = 611, <5 CD138+/HPF) and the CCE group (n = 222, ≥5 CD138+/HPF and cured after antibiotic treatment). Pregnancy outcomes were compared. NCE group was divided into subgroup 1 (CD138+/HPF = 0) and subgroup 2 (CD138+/HPF = 1-4) for further analysis.
The rate of early pregnancy loss (EPL), incorporating all losses before 10 weeks' gestation, was significantly higher in the CCE group than the NCE group (21.2% versus 14.2%, P = 0.016), and the difference was statistically significant (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11-2.55). No significant differences were observed between the two groups with regard to other pregnancy outcomes. In the subgroup analysis, the EPL rate and biochemical pregnancy rate were significantly higher in subgroup 2 than subgroup 1 (17.2% versus 9.4%, AOR 2.21, 95% CI 1.30-3.74; 12.2% versus 6.9%, AOR 2.01, 95% CI 1.09-3.68).
Chronic endometritis cured by standard antibiotic therapy remains a risk factor for EPL in FET cycles, although no differences were found in live birth rates between patients with CCE or with NCE.
抗生素治愈的慢性子宫内膜炎(CCE)患者在随后的冻融胚胎移植(FET)周期中的妊娠结局与非慢性子宫内膜炎(NCE)患者是否相当?
一项回顾性队列分析纳入了833例首次进行单倍体整倍体胚胎移植的FET周期患者。慢性子宫内膜炎(每高倍视野[CD138+/HPF]≥5个CD138+浆细胞)采用标准抗生素治疗。患者分为两组:NCE组(n = 611,<5 CD138+/HPF)和CCE组(n = 222,≥5 CD138+/HPF且抗生素治疗后治愈)。比较妊娠结局。NCE组分为亚组1(CD138+/HPF = 0)和亚组2(CD138+/HPF = 1 - 4)进行进一步分析。
CCE组妊娠10周前的早期妊娠丢失(EPL)率显著高于NCE组(21.2%对14.2%,P = 0.016),差异具有统计学意义(调整优势比[AOR] 1.68,95%置信区间[CI] 1.11 - 2.55)。两组在其他妊娠结局方面未观察到显著差异。在亚组分析中,亚组2的EPL率和生化妊娠率显著高于亚组1(17.2%对9.4%,AOR 2.21,95% CI 1.30 - 3.74;12.2%对6.9%,AOR 2.01,95% CI 1.09 - 3.68)。
尽管CCE患者和NCE患者的活产率无差异,但标准抗生素治疗治愈的慢性子宫内膜炎仍是FET周期中EPL的一个危险因素。
