摘要
To clarify the effect of next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) combined with trophectoderm (TE) biopsy on the pregnancy outcomes of idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss (iRPL) and idiopathic recurrent implantation failure (iRIF), we conducted a retrospective cohort study of 212 iRPL couples and 66 iRIF couples who underwent PGT-A or conventional in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatment. The implantation rate (IR) per transfer (64.2%), clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) per transfer (57.5%), and live birth rate (LBR) per transfer (45%) of iRPL couples of the PGT-A treatment group were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than those of the conventional IVF/ICSI group (IR per transfer,38.2%; CPR per transfer,33.3%; LBR per transfer, 28.4%), whereas the pregnancy loss rate (PLR) per transfer was similar between the two groups. These effects were also significant (p < 0.05) in iRPL couples with advanced maternal age (AMA, & GE;35 years), whereas no significant differences were found in clinical outcomes between the PGT-A and conventional IVF/ICSI groups in younger iRPL couples (<35 years). The cumulative clinical outcomes of iRPL couples were comparable between the PGT-A and conventional IVF/ICSI groups. No significant differences were found in any clinical outcomes between the PGT-A and conventional IVF/ICSI groups for young or AMA couples with iRIF. In conclusion, NGS-based PGT-A involving TE biopsy may be useful for iRPL women to shorten the time to pregnancy and reduce their physical and psychological burden, especially for iRPL women with AMA; however, couples with iRIF may not benefit from PGT-A treatment. Considering the small sample size of the iRIF group, further investigations with a larger sample size are needed to verify our findings.
