Corticosteroids Prior to Embryo Transfer in Assisted Reproduction in Women with Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis – A Nationwide Cohort Study

摘要

Former studies have suggested that women with Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) have a decreased chance of a live born child after assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment. It is debated whether corticosteroids before ART may improve outcomes, either by decreasing inflammatory bowel disease-related inflammation or increasing endometrial receptivity. We examined the efficacy of corticosteroids before embryo transfer in women with CD and UC.
