【 摘 要 】

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether the intrauterine perfusion of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) before frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) improves the pregnancy outcomes of patients with repeated implantation failure (RIF).MethodsThis retrospective study included 288 infertile women with RIF after undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatment from October 1, 2019, to January 1, 2021, at Qingdao Women and Children's Hospital. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether they received PRP intrauterine perfusion before embryo transfer in FET cycles. 138 women were in the PRP group, 150 women were in the control group. The primary outcome measure was live birth rates and the secondary outcome were clinical pregnancy, positive β hCG, miscarriage and implantation rates.ResultsNo significant differences in baseline demographic and clinical characteristics were observed between the two groups. Overall, significantly more women in the PRP group than in the control group achieved a live birth rate (41 women; 29.71% vs. 27 women; 18%) and a clinical pregnancy (50 women; 36.23% vs. 37 women; 24.67%). The PRP group had a higher implantation rate and lower spontaneous miscarriage rate than the control group, but these differences were not statistically significant. No pregnancy outcome difference between two groups in PCOS patients with RIF.ConclusionOur results showed that intrauterine perfusion of PRP before embryo transfer in FET cycles can significantly increase the live birth and clinical pregnancy rates in patients with RIF.
