To evaluate the live birth rate (LBR) following donor frozen embryo transfer (dFET) of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) versus untested donor embryos, stratified by blastocyst morphologic grade (MG).
This was a retrospective cohort study of 146 patients undergoing dFET of a single euploid blastocyst from fresh or frozen oocytes using PGT-A compared to age-matched controls (1:1 ratio) who did not use PGT-A. Primary outcome was LBR. LBR was compared among cohorts, with further stratification by (1) high/low MG and (2) fresh/frozen oocyte status. Secondary outcomes included perinatal outcomes.
RESULT(S): Median age in both groups was 44.5 years (p = 0.98). LBR was similar among the two cohorts (PGT-A: 57.5% vs. untested: 50.0%, p = 0.20). There was similar LBR in fresh (PGT-A: 59.2% vs. untested: 50.0%, p = 0.20) and frozen (PGT-A: 47.6% vs. untested: 50.0%, p = 0.85) oocyte subgroups. When stratified by MG, we appreciated similar LBR among high-quality blastocysts (PGT-A-high: 56.5% vs. untested-high: 52.3%, p = 0.49) among the whole cohort, as well as in fresh (fresh-PGT-A-high: 58.3% vs. fresh-untested-high: 52.9%, p = 0.46) and frozen (frozen-PGT-A-high: 44.4% vs. frozen-untested-high: 51.7%, p = 0.59) subgroups. Similarly, we appreciated no difference in LBR among low-quality blastocysts (PGT-A-low: 75.0% vs. untested-low: 31.2%, p = 0.08) among the whole cohort, as well as in the fresh (fresh-PGT-A-low: 80.0% vs. fresh-untested-low: 16.1%, p = 0.08) or frozen (frozen-PGT-A-low: 66.7% vs. frozen-untested-low: 40.0%, p = 0.56) subgroups. Gestational age (37.8 weeks, p = 1.0) and infant birth weight (PGT-A: 3128.0 g vs. untested: 3150.2 g, p = 0.60) were similar.
CONCLUSION(S): Though limited by the small number of MG blastocysts, overall PGT-A did not improve LBR regardless of blastocyst quality from fresh and previously frozen donor oocytes.
Use of PGT-A did not improve live birth rate regardless of blastocyst quality from both fresh and previously frozen donor oocytes.
评估经非整倍体植入前基因检测(PGT-A)的供体冷冻胚胎移植(dFET)与未经检测的供体胚胎移植后的活产率(LBR),并按囊胚形态学等级(MG)进行分层。
这是一项回顾性队列研究,对146例使用PGT-A从新鲜或冷冻卵母细胞中获取单个整倍体囊胚进行dFET的患者,与未使用PGT-A的年龄匹配对照组(1:1比例)进行比较。主要结局是LBR。对各队列的LBR进行比较,并进一步按以下因素分层:(1)高/低MG;(2)新鲜/冷冻卵母细胞状态。次要结局包括围产期结局。
两组的中位年龄均为44.5岁(p = 0.98)。两个队列的LBR相似(PGT-A组:57.5% vs. 未检测组:50.0%,p = 0.20)。新鲜(PGT-A组:59.2% vs. 未检测组:50.0%,p = 0.20)和冷冻(PGT-A组:47.6% vs. 未检测组:50.0%,p = 0.85)卵母细胞亚组的LBR相似。按MG分层时,我们发现在整个队列中,高质量囊胚的LBR相似(PGT-A-高等级组:56.5% vs. 未检测-高等级组:52.3%,p = 0.49),在新鲜(新鲜-PGT-A-高等级组:58.3% vs. 新鲜-未检测-高等级组:52.9%,p = 0.46)和冷冻(冷冻-PGT-A-高等级组:44.4% vs. 冷冻-未检测-高等级组:51.7%,p = 0.59)亚组中也是如此。同样,我们发现在整个队列中,低质量囊胚的LBR没有差异(PGT-A-低等级组:75.0% vs. 未检测-低等级组:31.2%,p = 0.08),在新鲜(新鲜-PGT-A-低等级组:80.0% vs. 新鲜-未检测-低等级组:16.1%,p = 0.08)或冷冻(冷冻-PGT-A-低等级组:66.7% vs. 冷冻-未检测-低等级组:40.0%,p = 0.56)亚组中也是如此。孕周(37.8周,p = 1.0)和婴儿出生体重(PGT-A组:3128.0 g vs. 未检测组:3150.2 g,p = 0.60)相似。
尽管受MG囊胚数量较少的限制,但总体而言,无论新鲜和先前冷冻供体卵母细胞的囊胚质量如何,PGT-A均未提高LBR。
无论新鲜和先前冷冻供体卵母细胞的囊胚质量如何,使用PGT-A均未提高活产率。
