Infertile patients with inflammatory bowel disease have comparable in vitro fertilization clinical outcomes to the general infertile population

摘要

To assess clinical outcomes of females diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and infertility, which underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) with preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy. (PGT-A). Retrospective cohort study comparing clinical outcomes of patients with Inflammatory bowel disease who underwent IVF with PGT-A with a subsequent euploid single embryo transfer (SET) against a matched control group. Thirty-eight patients with an IBD diagnosis were compared to 114 controls. There was no significant difference in cycle outcomes among IBD and Control cohorts [implantation rate (71.0% vs. 78.0% (p = .68)], clinical pregnancy rate [50.0% vs. 60.5% (p = .68)], live birth [62.9% vs. 73.0% (p = .06)] multiple pregnancy rate [0% vs. 1.1% (p = .25)] and clinical pregnancy loss rate [10.5% vs. 5.7% (p = .54)]. An IBD diagnosis was not found to significantly modify the odds of implantation [adjusted OR = 0.6 (95% CI -1.2 to 0.8)]. Additionally, the odds of implantation in patients with IBD were not altered by having ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease diagnosis. (OR = 0.4 95% CI 0.1-1.9). Patients diagnosed with IBD who undergo a SET have clinical outcomes comparable to the general infertile population. Patients and physicians can be reassured that an IBD diagnosis does not impair IVF treatment outcomes.SYNOPSIS Infertile patients with inflammatory bowel disease who utilized a single, euploid blastocyst transfer had IVF success rates comparable to the general infertile population.
