Analysis of Fertility Prognosis and Risk Factors in Patients Post-Gestational Trophoblastic Disease.

To retrospectively analyze the fertility outcomes and prognosis of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) patients, providing a basis for targeted fertility guidance and counseling. 82 GTD patients of childbearing age who received treatment at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Lanzhou University First Hospital from January 2016 to January 2023 were stratified into re-pregnancy (n = 20) and non-re-pregnancy (n = 33) cohorts based on their pregnancy outcomes. The impacts of various factors on pregnancy outcomes were subsequently evaluated, encompassing the rates of subsequent pregnancies, live births, miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, and ongoing pregnancies. Finally, logistics regression model was employed to analyze the risk factors affecting re-pregnancy in GTD patients. The study delineated those patients with different GTD pathologies had varying re-pregnancy rates (mole, erosive mole and choriocarcinoma accounted for 66.04%, 30.19% and 3.77%, respectively). Treatment predominantly involved uterine curettage, with fewer cases receiving chemotherapy alone or in conjunction with curettage accounted for 67.92%, 5.66%, and 26.42%, respectively. The average chemotherapy frequency was 4.59 ± 2.43 sessions, and a majority sought reproductive counseling. Re-pregnancy occurred in 37.74% of patients. The live birth rate was 65.00%, with miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy rates at 25.00% and 5.00% respectively. Logistic regression analysis pinpointed the absence of pre-pregnancy counseling as a significant independent risk factor for re-pregnancy in GTD patients (p < 0.05). While chemotherapy may influence ovarian function, with the majority of patients desiring children post-recovery, pregnancy rates remain high. Fertility counseling significantly enhances re-pregnancy success rates in GTD survivors, emphasizing its recommendation for those aiming to conceive post-recovery.
