ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To examine the relationship between ambient temperature and DTR and pregnancy outcomes in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic monosperm injection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET) women.METHODS:
The study included 5,264 women who were treated with IVF/ICSI-ET at two centers in Hubei province from 2017 to 2022. The daily mean, daily maximum, and daily minimum temperatures at the subjects' home addresses were extracted, and DTR values were calculated based on latter two. The associations between ambient temperature and DTR with clinical pregnancy and live birth rates were assessed using multivariate logistic regression models adjusted for covariates. Subgroup analyses were also conducted to explore potential modifiers.RESULT:
High/low temperatures as well as a larger DTR had a significant effect on pregnancy outcomes in fresh cycles, but not in FET cycles. Specifically, hot weather exposure to high temperatures was associated with reduced clinical pregnancy rates Period4 (embryo transfer to serum HCG testing) (aOR = 0.873, 95%CI 0.763-0.999). Ambient temperature in cold weather was positively associated with live birth rate Period 2 (Gn initiation to oocyte retrieval) (aOR = 1.082, 95% CI 1.01-1.170), Period 3 (oocyte retrieval to embryo transfer) (aOR = 1.111, 95% CI 1.019-1.212), Period 4 (aOR = 1.134, 95% CI 1.028-1.252), and Period7 (85 days prior to oocyte retrieval to serum hCG testing) (aOR = 1.105, 95% CI 1.007-1.212). For DTR, exposure to larger DTR (Q3) at Period2, Period3, and Period6 (Gn initiation to embryo transfer) reduces clinical pregnancy and live birth rates compared with Q1. Subgroup analyses revealed susceptibility profiles across age groups and residential address populations in different sensitivity windows.CONCLUSION:
Our study shows that exposure to hot and cold weather and higher DTR reduces clinical pregnancy rates and live birth rates in women undergoing fresh embryo transfer, but has no significant effect on FET cycles.
