Objectives: To study the relationship of the number and quality of embryos transferred with clinical pregnancy rate and multiple pregnancy rate in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycle.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 995 FET cycles. Patients were stratified as age < 35 or > or = 35, Both groups' clinical pregnancy rate and multiple pregnancy rate were compared according to the number of embryos and high-quality embryos transferred.
Results: (1) The clinical pregnancy rates were 50.0%, 56.6% and 56.5%, and twin pregnancy rates were 6.3%, 43.8% and 30.6% respectively in < 35 group when one, two or three embryos were transferred. There is not any significantly statistic difference among these subgroups (P > 0.05). However, the twin pregnancy rate in one-embryo transferred subgroup was significantly lower than that of two-embryo transferred subgroup (P < 0.05). Moreover, the clinical pregnancy rate was not different among single high-quality embryo transferred subgroup and other high-quality embryo transferred subgroups, the multiple pregnancy rate was lower than the others. (2) The clinical pregnancy rates were 0, 47.3% and 53.8%, and twin pregnancy rates were 0, 25.7% and 25.7% respectively in > or = 35 group when one, two or three embryos were transferred. The clinical pregnancy rate and twin pregnancy rate between two-embryo and three-embryo transferred subgroups were not significantly different (P > 0.05). Moreover, the clinical pregnancy rate was not different among two-embryo transferred containing one high-quality embryo subgroup and other high-quality embryo transferred subgroups, the multiple pregnancy rate was lower than the others.
Conclusions: There is a close relationship between the number and quality of embryos transferred and clinical pregnancy rate, multiple pregnancy rate in FET cycles. For the patient aged < 35, we recommend performing single high-quality embryo transfer in order to reduce the multiple pregnancy. For the patient aged > or = 35, two-embryo transfer containing one high-quality embryo is enough to obtain a satisfied clinical pregnancy rate and an acceptable multiple pregnancy rate.

Survival outcomes among periviable infants: a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing different income countries and time periods.
Front Public Health
January 2025
Department of Neonatology Nursing, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: Periviable infants are a highly vulnerable neonatal group, and their survival rates are considerably affected by patient-, caregiver-, and institution-level factors, exhibiting wide variability across different income countries and time periods. This study aims to systematically review the literature on the survival rates of periviable infants and compare rates among countries with varied income levels and across different time periods.
Methods: Comprehensive searches were conducted across MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, and Web of Science.
Birth defects reporting and the use of dydrogesterone: a disproportionality analysis from the World Health Organization pharmacovigilance database (VigiBase).

Regional Center of Pharmacovigilance, Pharmacology Department, Cochin Hospital, AP-HP.Centre-Université Paris Cité, Paris, France.
Study Question: Is there an association between dydrogesterone exposure during early pregnancy and the reporting of birth defects?
Summary Answer: This observational analysis based on global safety data showed an increased reporting of birth defects, mainly hypospadias and congenital heart defects (CHD), in pregnancies exposed to dydrogesterone, especially when comparing to progesterone.
What Is Known Already: Intravaginal administration of progesterone is the standard of care to overcome luteal phase progesterone deficiency induced by ovarian stimulation in ART. In recent years, randomized controlled clinical trials demonstrated that oral dydrogesterone was non-inferior for pregnancy rate at 12 weeks of gestation and could be an alternative to micronized vaginal progesterone.
Association of tea consumption with all-cause/cardiovascular disease mortality in the chronic kidney disease population: an assessment of participation in the national cohort.

Background: While there are numerous benefits to tea consumption, its long-term impact on patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear.
Method: Our analysis included 17,575 individuals with CKD from an initial 45,019 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (1999-2018). Individuals with extreme dietary habits, pregnancy, or non-CKD conditions were excluded.

Follow-up of immediate postpartum intrauterine device insertion: a scoping review protocol.
BMJ Open

Obstetrics & Gynecology, University of Campinas, Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil.
Introduction: The intrauterine device (IUD) inserted immediately after delivery is a safe and effective measure for preventing unplanned pregnancies. Despite exhibiting a higher expulsion rate compared with later insertions, it proves cost-effective due to the high rate of continuity of the method. There is still a gap in the literature regarding the optimal strategy for monitoring these patients, whether it should be through clinical examination, ultrasound or both.
