目的按照原始卵母细胞和胚胎状态研究供体卵母细胞胚胎移植周期的趋势、特征和结果,并确定卵母细胞状态(新鲜或冷冻)是否与临床妊娠、活产以及单胎活产中足月正常出生体重新生儿有不同关系:设计:回顾性队列研究 对象:接受供体卵母细胞胚胎移植的患者:2013-2020年期间向美国国家辅助生殖技术监测系统(NASS)报告的接受供体卵母细胞胚胎移植周期的患者:原始供体卵母细胞和胚胎状态(新鲜或冷冻) 主要结局指标:2013-2020 年期间,按卵母细胞和胚胎状态分层的总供体卵母细胞胚胎移植周期和单胚胎移植周期导致足月(妊娠≥37 周)、正常出生体重(≥2500 克)单胎活产的年度数量和比例。还报告了 2018-2020 年单胎活产中的活产率和足月、正常出生体重新生儿的比率。相对风险(RR)考察了供体卵母细胞状态与供体卵母细胞胚胎移植周期导致的单胎活产中的活产率和足月、正常出生体重新生儿之间的关联:2013-2020 年间,共有 135,085 例供体卵母细胞胚胎移植周期,其中冷冻胚胎(42.3% 至 76.6%)、使用冷冻供体卵母细胞的新鲜胚胎(19.9% 至 68.3%)和单胚胎移植(SET)(36.4% 至 85.5%)的比例有所上升。2018-2020 年间,共有 48679 个供体卵母细胞胚胎移植周期。在新鲜(46.2%,55.9%;aRR 0.83 [95% CI 0.79-0.87])和冷冻(41.3%,45.8%;aRR 0.94 [95% CI 0.91-0.98])胚胎移植周期中,冷冻供体卵母细胞的活产率均低于新鲜供体卵母细胞。在单胎活产中,新鲜(77.3%,77.2%;aRR 1.01 [95% CI 0.98-1.03])和冷冻(75.6%,75.1%;aRR 1.02 [95% CI 0.99-1.04])胚胎移植周期的足月、正常出生体重新生儿分娩率与冷冻移植周期相似:在这项关于供体卵母细胞胚胎移植周期的全国性研究中,冷冻胚胎移植、使用冷冻卵母细胞的新鲜胚胎移植和 SET 均有所增加。虽然与新鲜卵母细胞相比,冷冻卵母细胞的活产率略有下降,但在单胎活产中,足月新生儿、正常出生体重新生儿的比率在不同的供体卵母细胞状态下相当。

Ethics Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine
Medical providers have an ethical duty to disclose clinically significant errors involving gametes and embryos. Although not mandatory, disclosure of errors causing no harm or near misses is recommended. In addition, clinics should have written policies in place for reducing and disclosing errors.
Divulgación de errores médicos y eventos adversos que involucran gametas y embriones: una opinión del Comité de Ética
Los proveedores de salud tienen un deber ético de divulgar errores clínicamente significativos que involucran gametas y embriones. Aunque no es obligatorio, la divulgación de errores que no causan daño o “near misses” es recomendada. Además, las clínicas deberían tener políticas escritas establecidas para reducir y divulgar errores.
