Abstract
Objectives
To investigate the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) pre-treatment on the clinical outcomes of fresh and frozen embryo transfers (ETs and FETs, respectively) in infertile patients with adenomyosis.
Design
Retrospective cohort study with literature review.
Setting
Peking University First Hospital.
Population
We analysed 413 cycles of 369 women with adenomyosis who underwent ETs or FETs.
Methods
We performed logistic regression analysis and meta-analysis to assess the association of GnRHa pre-treatment with the clinical outcomes of ETs and FETs.
Main Outcome Measures
The live birth rate (LBR) was compared between patients with and without GnRHa pre-treatment.
Results
The LBR was higher in the GnRHa pre-treatment group than in the non-GnRHa pre-treatment group in ETs (41.27% vs. 24.32%, p = 0.034) and FETs (40.36% vs. 20.75%, p = 0.008). The odds of achieving a live birth of women with GnRHa pre-treatment were 2.65 times higher than that of those without (95% CI: 1.19–5.92, p = 0.017) after adjusting for confounders in ETs. Similarly, the adjusted odds ratio (OR) was 2.43 (95% CI: 1.10–5.40, p = 0.029) in FETs. For the meta-analysis, eight studies met the inclusion criteria; however, only six reported the adjusted ORs. Combination of these six adjusted ORs with our results revealed that the GnRHa pre-treatment group had higher LBRs than the non-GnRHa pre-treatment group (ET: OR 1.71, 95% CI: 1.30–2.26, FET: OR 2.61, 95% CI: 1.52–4.49).
Conclusions
In women with adenomyosis, GnRHa pre-treatment may be beneficial for LBRs following both ETs and FETs.
