Abstract
The countercurrent opinion given in this paper is that the optimal management of frozen embryo transfers (FET) is not a one-size-fits-all matter, but rather one that should be decided after considering all the various parameters and options. This choice should notably encompass patients’ individual characteristics – including variable risks of obstetric complications – and weigh out the respective advantages of each FET option in each case. While there may be real advantages for natural-cycle FET in many cases, these need to be balanced against both practical and clinical issues. Contrary to several prevailing, sometimes loudly expressed suggestions, there is not a one single effective approach when it comes to choosing a mode of scheduling FET.
本文提出的相反意见认为,冷冻胚胎移植(FET)的最佳管理并不是一个放之四海而皆准的问题,而是应该在考虑了各种参数和方案之后再做决定。这种选择应特别考虑患者的个体特征,包括产科并发症的不同风险,并权衡每种冷冻胚胎移植方案在每种情况下各自的优势。虽然在许多情况下自然周期 FET 确实有其优势,但需要在实际和临床问题之间取得平衡。与一些流行的、有时甚至是大声疾呼的建议相反,在选择 FET 时间安排模式时,并不存在单一有效的方法。
期刊介绍:
Reproductive BioMedicine Online covers the formation, growth and differentiation of the human embryo. It is intended to bring to public attention new research on biological and clinical research on human reproduction and the human embryo including relevant studies on animals. It is published by a group of scientists and clinicians working in these fields of study. Its audience comprises researchers, clinicians, practitioners, academics and patients.
Context:
The period of human embryonic growth covered is between the formation of the primordial germ cells in the fetus until mid-pregnancy. High quality research on lower animals is included if it helps to clarify the human situation. Studies progressing to birth and later are published if they have a direct bearing on events in the earlier stages of pregnancy.
