ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical application value of gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-A) combined with low-dose HCG regimen in patients with high ovarian response based on clinical characteristics and laboratory indicators. METHODS: The clinical data of 305 patients who received IVF/ICSI in the Hechi People's Hospital Reproductive Medicine Center from March 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively included, and all patients were treated with GnRH-A combined with low-dose HCG regimen protocol. The patients were separated into an ovarian hyper-response group and a normal ovarian reaction group according to their ovarian reactivity. Risk factors for ovarian hyper-response in IVF/ICSI patients were screened by univariate and multivariate logistic analysis. The ROC curve area was used to evaluate the prediction effect. RESULTS: Of the 305 patients, 6 (1.97%) had poor ovarian reaction, 123 (40.33%) had ovarian hyper response, and 176 (57.70%) had normal ovarian reaction. The proportion of ovarian hyper response and normal ovarian reaction was 98.03% (299/305); the basic serum FSH level, AMH level, E2 on HCG level on HCG injection day and the incidence of moderate to severe OHSS in the Ovarian hyper-response group were compared with those in the normal ovarian reaction group (P < 0.05). Logistic reversion analysis showed that AMH (OR = 1.246, 95% CI = 1.107-1.402), E2 level on HCG injection day (OR = 1.050, 95% CI = 1.028-1.072) and P level on HCG injection day (OR = 5.831, 95% CI = 1.231-27.616) were factors for ovarian hyper response. Basal serum FSH (OR = 0.781, 95% CI = 0.647-0.94) and LH level on HCG injection day (OR = 0.594, 95% CI = 0.405-0.871) were negatively correlated with the occurrence of high response (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that AMH (AUC = 0.779), E2 level on HCG injection day (AUC = 0.802), P level on HCG injection day (AUC = 0.636), combined detection (AUC = 0.843), AUC > 0.5. Among them, the prediction effect of joint detection is better. CONCLUSION: GnRH-A combined with low-dose HCG regimen is feasible for patients with ovarian hyper-response during IVF-ET/ICSI, and does not affect the implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, live birth rate, and early abortion rate of such patients. Combined detection of basal serum FSH, AMH, LH, E2 and P levels on HCG injection day can effectively predict the occurrence of ovarian hyper-response.
