[Effect of Intrauterine Perfusion of Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor on Endometrium and Blood Flow Parameters in Patients With Thin Endometrium: A Prospective Controlled Clinical Trial].

Objective: To investigate the effects of intrauterine perfusion with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) on the endometrial thickness, volume, and blood flow parameters of patients with thin endometrium and their clinical outcomes.

Methods: We designed a prospective non-randomized synchronous controlled trial and recruited patients with thin endometrium who underwent frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) at Mianyang Central Hospital between September 1, 2021 and September 1, 2023. They were divided into two groups, an experimental group of patients who received the experimental treatment of intrauterine perfusion with G-CSF and a control group of patients who did not receive the experimental treatment. The general data and the clinical outcomes of the two groups were analyzed and compared. The endometrial thickness, volume and blood flow parameters of patients in the experimental group before and after intrauterine perfusion with G-CSF were analyzed.

Results: The clinical data of 83 patients were included in the study. The experimental group included 51 cases, while the control group included 31 cases. There were no significant differences in the baseline data between the two groups. The clinical pregnancy rate of the experimental group (56.86%) was higher than that of the control group (50.00%) and the rate of spontaneous abortion in the experimental group (27.59%) was lower than that in the control group (37.50%), but the differences were not statistically significant (>0.05). In the experimental group, the postperfusion endometrial thickness ([0.67±0.1] cm) was greater than the preperfusion endometrial thickness ([0.59±0.09] cm), the postperfusion ([1.84±0.81] cm) was greater than the preperfusion endometrial volume ([1.54±0.69] cm), and the postperfusion vascularization flow index (VFI) (1.97±2.82) was greater than the preperfusion VFI (0.99±1.04), with all the differences being statistically significant (<0.05).

Conclusion: Intrauterine perfusion with G-CSF can enhance the endometrial thickness, volume, and some blood flow parameters in patients with thin endometrium.
