Abstract
Purpose: 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).
Methods: 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.
Capsule: Use of PGT-A did not improve live birth rate regardless of blastocyst quality from both fresh and previously frozen donor oocytes.

Founded in 1870 as "Archiv für Gynaekologie", Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics has a long and outstanding tradition. Since 1922 the journal has been the Organ of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe. "The Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics" is circulated in over 40 countries world wide and is indexed in "PubMed/Medline" and "Science Citation Index Expanded/Journal Citation Report".
The journal publishes invited and submitted reviews; peer-reviewed original articles about clinical topics and basic research as well as news and views and guidelines and position statements from all sub-specialties in gynecology and obstetrics.
