Abstract
Purpose: To assess the impact of sperm source on cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) after oocyte thaw in autologous oocyte cryopreservation (AOC) patients.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of autologous oocyte thaw patients at an urban academic fertility center from 2006 to 2021. Patients were stratified by sperm source [partner sperm (PS) vs. donor sperm (DS)]. The primary outcome was CLBR per patient. Secondary outcomes were the oocyte survival rate and usable embryo rate. Statistics included Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, Fisher's exact, chi-square, two-sample t-tests, and multiple logistic regression (p < 0.05).
Results: A total of 653 patients were included; 455 (69.7%) used PS and 198 (30.3%) used DS. Time from the first AOC to the first thaw did not differ among DS and PS users (56.8 vs. 54.0 months, p = 0.20). PS users were younger at AOC (37.9 vs. 38.5 years, p < 0.001) and thaw (42.3 vs. 43.1 years, p < 0.001). There were equivalent overall CLBRs (39.9% PS vs. 40.6% DS, p = 0.85) and CLBRs in patients < 35 years at AOC (51.2% PS vs. 100% DS, p = 0.18), 35-37 years at AOC (45.9% PS vs. 60.4% DS, p = 0.10), 38-40 years at AOC (35.4% PS vs. 35.2% DS, p = 0.93), 41-42 years at AOC (28.9% PS vs 14.3% DS, p = 0.21), and > 43 years at AOC (12.5% PS vs 16.7% DS, p = 0.83) among PS and DS users. There were no significant differences in the oocyte survival (79% PS vs 80.5% DS, p = 0.08) or the proportion of patients with usable embryos (27.3% vs 27.8%, p = 0.70) between PS and DS groups.
Conclusions: In AOC patients, CLBR, oocyte survival rate, and usable embryo rate did not differ based on sperm source.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics publishes cellular, molecular, genetic, and epigenetic discoveries advancing our understanding of the biology and underlying mechanisms from gametogenesis to offspring health. Special emphasis is placed on the practice and evolution of assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs) with reference to the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting fertility. Our goal is to educate our readership in the translation of basic and clinical discoveries made from human or relevant animal models to the safe and efficacious practice of human ARTs. The scientific rigor and ethical standards embraced by the JARG editorial team ensures a broad international base of expertise guiding the marriage of contemporary clinical research paradigms with basic science discovery. JARG publishes original papers, minireviews, case reports, and opinion pieces often combined into special topic issues that will educate clinicians and scientists with interests in the mechanisms of human development that bear on the treatment of infertility and emerging innovations in human ARTs. The guiding principles of male and female reproductive health impacting pre- and post-conceptional viability and developmental potential are emphasized within the purview of human reproductive health in current and future generations of our species.
The journal is published in cooperation with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, an organization of more than 8,000 physicians, researchers, nurses, technicians and other professionals dedicated to advancing knowledge and expertise in reproductive biology.
