Their demographic and clinical data, along with echocardiography information—including systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP), severity of MS, and NYHA class—were monitored throughout pregnancy. Additionally, the maternal and fetal outcomes were examined.</p><h3>Results</h3><p>Among the participants, 38.3% were diagnosed with progressive MS, 56.8% exhibited severe stenosis, and 4.9% presented with very severe stenosis. Prior to pregnancy, no cases were classified as NYHA class 3 or 4. However, during the first trimester, six patients (7.4%) were classified as NYHA class 3. In the second trimester, 23 patients (28.4%) were in class 3, and 1 patient (1.2%) was classified as class 4.

This study aimed to explore the extent of body image perception disorders, psychological comorbidities, and their influence on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in women with PCOS. Additionally, we focused on measuring the impact of factors associated with PCOS, particularly obesity, to gain a more comprehensive understanding of their effects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;An online survey was distributed anonymously to gynecologists, hospitals, and women's clinics across Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, as well as through social media platforms to connect with women with PCOS. The survey was conducted from November 14, 2023, to February 05, 2024. HRQOL, anxiety/depression levels, body image and self-esteem were assessed employing the Modified-PCOS-Questionnaire (MPCOSQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire Appearance Scales (MBSRQ-AS) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) respectively. Identification of potential confounding variables relied on their plausibility and association with the estimate.

Half of the participants (46.7%) showed significantly poor results in the RSE, indicating low self-esteem.

(HADS-Anxiety &gt; 8: 75.0% (440); HADS-Depression &gt; 8: 57.6% (338). Examining the HRQOL of PCOS patients revealed that all average scores of the subscales, except for the Acne subscale and MPCOSQ-Total (3.6 ± 1:0), were situated in the lower half, indicating diminished HRQOL. The linear regression revealed that pathological values in the MBSRQ-AS, indicating impaired body image, were associated with low scores in the MPCOSQ subscales and HADS scales, suggesting impaired HRQOL and a higher rate of distress in PCOS patients. Furthermore, the multivariate analysis showed a statistically significant link between adverse body perception and HRQOL, as well as distress among PCOS patients in this study group.

We conducted a retrospective cohort study and a meta-analysis to evaluate the application value of the PPOS protocol in PGT-A cycles.</p><h3>Methods</h3><p>In the cohort study, we retrospectively analyzed 962 ovarian stimulation cycles, including 413 cycles of PPOS protocol, 327 cycles of gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) protocol, and 222 cycles of GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) protocol. In the meta-analysis, we searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Sinomed, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP databases as well as clinical trial registration websites. Pooled or narrative analyses were performed on embryo and pregnancy outcomes according to whether baseline characteristics were balanced.</p><h3>Results</h3><p>In our retrospective study, compared to the GnRH agonist protocol, patients receiving the PPOS and GnRH antagonist protocols were older, and there was a significant decrease in the number of antral follicles, Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels, stimulation duration, gonadotropin (Gn) dosage, as well as the number of retrieved oocytes and euploid blastocysts. Regression analysis showed that the ovarian stimulation protocol was not associated with the number of euploid blastocysts or the rate of euploid blastocysts per biopsy. There were no significant differences in the rates of biochemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, premature birth, live birth, or miscarriage per embryo transfer among the three groups. The meta-analysis included data from seven studies. There were no significant differences in stimulation duration, Gn dosage, number of oocytes retrieved, number of euploid blastocysts, euploid blastocyst rate, clinical pregnancy rate, or live birth rate between PPOS protocol and GnRH antagonist protocol, but the abortion rate of PPOS protocol decreased significantly.</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>Current findings indicate that the PPOS protocol is comparable to other ovarian stimulation protocols in embryo euploid status or pregnancy outcomes and may be an attractive option in PGT-A cycles, which needs to be validated in more well-designed RCTs and long-term follow-ups.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8330,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics","volume":"311 4","pages":"1181 - 1193"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00404-024-07918-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143405264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
