Comparable ongoing pregnancy and pregnancy loss rates in natural cycle and artificial cycle frozen embryo transfers with intensive method-specific luteal phase support; a retrospective cohort study.

Study Objective: The absence of corpus lutea in artificial cycle (AC) frozen embryo transfers (FET) may increase the chances of pregnancy loss. In this retrospective cohort study, the efficacy of AC endometrial preparation was compared natural cycle (NC) endometrial preparation in terms of ongoing pregnancy.

Methods: One thousand six hundred and eighteen consecutive vitrified-warmed blastocyst FET performed between December 2021 and November 2022 were included, with 1023 compared after exclusions according to the endometrial preparation method; 293 NC-FET, 143 modified NC-FET, 204 unprogrammed AC-FET, and 383 oral contraceptive pill (OCP) programmed AC-FET.

Chronic endometritis diagnosed using a cut-off of ≥5 CD138 plasma cells significantly affects the reproductive outcomes of frozen embryo transfer: a case-control study.

Objective: To investigate the clinical significance of a diagnosis of chronic endometritis (CE) made using a diagnostic cut-off of ≥1 or ≥5 CD138 plasma cells per high power field (HPF) in asymptomatic patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) with frozen embryo transfer (FET).

Material And Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, 1,865 patients underwent freeze-all-IVF treatment between January and December 2019, with 419 undergoing endometrial biopsies at oocyte retrieval. Of the 419 biopsy-patients, 301 have since undergone first FET.

Patterns and Predictors of Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation Related Cerebral Microbleeds.

Objectives: Recent case-reports have described an atypical cerebral microbleed (CMB) topography after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The objective of this study was to examine the prevalence, radiographic patterns, and clinical correlates of possibly-ECMO-related (PER) CMB.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 307 consecutive patients receiving ECMO support at our tertiary-care University Hospital (2013-2018).

Dydrogesterone versus medroxyprogesterone acetate co-treatment ovarian stimulation for IVF: a matched cohort study of 236 freeze-all-IVF cycles.

This matched cohort study was retrospectively performed, with cycles extracted from freeze-all-IVF treatments performed between March and November 2019, to compare the efficacy of flexible-start dydrogesterone (DYG) co-treatment ovarian stimulations (OS) with flexible-start medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) co-treatment OS. DYG cycles were matched 1:1 with MPA cycles using female age and antral follicle count, resulting in 236 matched cycles. OS durations and total FSH doses were similar in DYG and MPA OS cycles.
