RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Many studies that collect maternal and neonatal outcomes rely on patient self-report phone calls. It is unclear how reliable or accurate these phone call reports are. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the reliability of telephone calls in information collection in IVF. STUDY DESIGN: The women were interviewed seven days after delivery by a nurse via telephone. The maternal and neonatal outcomes were recorded based on a self-report from one of the spouses. Meanwhile, the standardized electronic hospitalized discharge records were extracted from the hospital medical database. For each case, maternal and neonatal information obtained from telephone interviews and extracted from medical files were compared. RESULTS: Agreement was classified as "almost perfect, K = 0.81-1.00" for preterm birth, cesarean delivery, low birth weight baby, and macrosomia. The strength of agreement was classified as "moderate, K = 0.41-0.60" for some antepartum complications: gestational diabetes (K = 0.569); pregnancy-induced hypertension (K = 0.588); intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (K = 0.597) and oligohydramnios (K = 0.432). The strength of agreement between telephone interviews and hospitalized discharge records can be classified as "slight (K = 0-0.20)" for some complications: thyroid diseases (K = 0.137), anemia (K = 0.047), postpartum hemorrhage (K = 0.016), and Fetal distress (K = 0.106). CONCLUSION: Some variables (preterm birth, cesarean delivery, birth weight) information collected by telephone follow-up were reliable. However, other complications (thyroid diseases, anemia, postpartum hemorrhage, and fetal distress) collected via self-report was non-reliable. Compared with complications during labor, antepartum complications have higher agreement between different follow-up methods. IVF records and hospitalized discharge records should be matched and collected simultaneously when discussing maternal and neonatal outcomes of IVF.

RESUMO

Objective: This prospective randomized controlled trial compared the reproductive outcomes of frozen embryo transfer (FET) with hormone replacement treatment (HRT) with or without gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) pretreatment. Methods: A total of 133 patients scheduled for HRT-FET mainly because of tubal and/or male factors who received two high-quality cleavage-stage embryos were enrolled at two participating centers. The GnRHa group (n = 65) received GnRHa pretreatment, while the control group (n = 68) did not. Analysis was based on the intention-to-treat (ITT) principle. Results: Among the 133 participants, 130 (97.7%) underwent embryo transfer and 127 (95.5%) completed the protocol. The clinical pregnancy rate according to ITT did not differ between the GnRHa and control groups [39/65 (60.0%) vs. 41/68 (60.3%), p = 0.887]. The implantation rate (47.6% vs. 45.3%, p = 0.713), early pregnancy loss rate (5.1% vs. 19.5%, p = 0.09), and live birth rate (49.2% vs. 50.0%, p = 0.920) were also comparable between groups. Conclusion: Pretreatment with GnRHa does not improve the reproductive outcomes for women receiving HRT-FET. Clinical Trial Registration: The study was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR-IOR-17014170; http://www.chictr.org.cn).

RESUMO

Patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) encounter peritoneal functional and structural alterations. It is still unknown whether levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1), matrix metalloproteinases- (MMP-) 2, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) exhibit dynamic changes in peritoneal effluents. The aim of the present study was to investigate the longitudinal changes in these biomarkers in PD patients and their association with peritoneal small-solute transfer rate (PSTR). This prospective, single-center cohort study included 70 new PD patients. The presence of PAI-1, MMP-2, and VEGF in peritoneal effluents was measured regularly after PD initiation. The association between those biomarkers and 4-hour effluent:plasma creatinine ratio (PSTR) was analyzed. Longitudinal follow-up showed a tendency for PAI-1 (p < 0.001) and VEGF (p = 0.04) to increase with the duration of PD. Both PSTR at baseline and PSTR at 2 years significantly associated with PAI-1, MMP-2, and VEGF levels at baseline. PSTR at 2 years also associated with the MMP-2 level at 6 months and PAI-1 level at baseline. The present study illustrated a positive association of PSTR with selected biomarkers in peritoneal effluents observed over a 2-year period.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical outcomes of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) among patients in different conditions receiving luteinizing hormone supplementation in GnRH-agonist long protocol. METHODS: Between June, 2010 and December, 2015, 671 IVF-ET cycles with GnRH-agonist long protocol were performed at our center. These cycles were divided into group A with FSH only and group B with FSH and recombinant luteinizing hormone (r-LH) supplementation, and each group was divided into 4 subgroups according to age (<35 or ≥35) and the LH level on the initial day (<1.0 U/L or ≥1.0 U/L). The effects of LH supplementation on the clinical pregnancy rate and implantation rate were compared among different subgroups. RESULTS: No statistical significances were found between groups A and B in age, body mass index (BMI), basal FSH, basal LH, basal E2, Gn dosage, Gn day, LH on HCG day, E2 on HCG day, P on HCG day, number of oocytes, fertilization rate, available embryo rate or good quality embryo rate per oocyte, but the endometrium thickness on HCG day differed significantly between the two groups. In women below 35 years of age with a LH level on HCG day over 1.0 U/L, r-LH supplementation resulted in a clinical pregnancy rate of 60%, significantly lower than the rate of 79.55% in women without r-LH supplementation (P<0.05). In women over 35 years with a LH level below 1.0 U/L, r-LH supplementation resulted in an implantation rate of 44.74%, as compared with 24.74% in women without r-LH supplementation (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: In the long protocol, LH supplementation does not improve the oocyte number, fertilization rate, or good quality embryo per oocyte, and does not bring benefits to women below 35 years with a low LH level (<1.0 U/L) or those over 35 years with normal LH level (≥1.0 U/L) after GnRH-agonist administration. But for women over 35 years with low LH levels, r-LH supplementation may improve the clinical pregnancy rate and implantation rate of IVF-ET cycles.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate infertility patients' attitudes towards frozen embryos and the factors that influence patients' decisions. STUDY DESIGN: This is a cross-sectional quantitative observational study conducted between 1 April 2010 and 1 April 2015. Patients underwent IVF with embryo cryopreservation and successfully delivered at least one baby were called to complete a questionnaire regarding decisions about embryo disposition and reasons for their preferred option. The chi-square test was used to compare the attitudes about embryo disposition between subgroups. A multinomial logistic regression was performed to examine the effects of various individual characteristics on the decision. The effects were presented by adjusted odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence interval (95% CI). SETTING: Guangzhou Women and Children's Hospital. RESULTS: Among 769 interviewed couples, 718 couples (93.4%) completed the questionnaire. A total of 462 couples (64.3%) continued to store embryos. Among the participants who discontinued storage, 214 couples (83.6%) chose to discard embryos, and 42 couples (16.4%) agreed to donate embryos for research. Having no college education and longer storage duration were associated with an increase in the likelihood of discontinuing storage. The couples having twins from IVF were more likely to discontinue storage (OR=6.33, 95%CI: 4.37-9.39) compared to those having only one child. Regarding the choice of discarding or donation for research among those who decided to discontinue frozen embryos, females aged 30 or above were more willing to donate their embryos for research (OR=2.85, 95%CI:1.12-7.23). CONCLUSION: The preference for embryo disposition was associated with the number of children, storage duration, and the couple's education. Chinese patients generally chose to store cryopreserved embryos and were less receptive to the concept of embryo research compared with patients in other developed countries.
