Abstract
Objective: Assisted hatching (AH) techniques can improve live birth (LB) and clinical pregnancy (CP) rates. Since there are limited data regarding this subject, we investigated the impact of laser-assisted hatching (LAH) on fresh embryo transfer (ET) and association with pregnancy outcomes in unselected patient population.
Materials and methods: This retrospective study included the fresh ETs performed at our center between April 2010 and April 2019. Among 3.782 fresh ETs, 3.286 underwent LAH (n=1.583 at cleavage stage and n=1.703 at blastocyst stage) while 496 underwent non-assisted hatching (NAH) (n=213 at cleavage stage and n=283 at blastocyst stage). The ETs were performed at the blastocyst or cleavage stages, and single or double embryos were transferred. LB rate was the primary outcome, while secondary outcomes were the pregnancy test, monozygotic twinning (MZT), and CP rates.
Results: The LAH and NAH groups showed similar LB, pregnancy test, CP, and MZT rates at cleavage and blastocyst stages. On the other hand, LAH significantly affected LB rates at the blastocyst stage (20.6% at blastocyst stage vs. 16% at the cleavage stage, p=0.001).
Conclusion: In conclusion, LAH does not improve reproductive outcomes of fresh blastocyst-stage and cleavage-stage ETs. However, LAH significant impacts LB rates in the blastocyst stage than the cleavage stage.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
