This study aimed to explore the association between controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) protocols and euploid blastocyst rate in pre-implantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) cycles. The study included 457 PGT-A cycles and found that the GnRH-ant protocol was the most effective, with significantly higher euploidy rates compared to the PPOS protocol. This emphasizes the importance of personalized treatment strategies.
BackgroundSeveral studies have explored which COS protocol yields a higher blastocyst euploidy rate, but findings have been inconsistent. The present study aimed to explore whether controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) protocols was associated with euploid blastocyst rate in pre-implantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) cycles.MethodsThe study was a retrospective study where data were obtained from three reproductive medicine centers. The study included PGT-A cycles with the GnRH-a, GnRH-ant, or PPOS protocols, and the data on patient demographics, protocols, and embryonic outcomes were collected for the PGT-A cycles performed between January 2019 and August 2022.ResultsThis study included 457 PGT-A cycles from three reproductive medicine centers, with 152, 126, and 179 cycles performed using the PPOS, GnRH-a, and GnRH-ant protocols, respectively. The baseline characteristics of the three groups show no significant differences were observed in female BMI, infertility type, and infertility duration among the PPOS, GnRH-a, and GnRH-ant protocol groups. The study found no significant association between Gn dosage, Gn duration, and blastocyst euploidy. The mean number of euploidy blastocysts in PPOS protocol was significantly lower than that of GnRH-a protocol and GnRH-ant protocol (0.75 +/- 0.92 vs. 1.79 +/- 1.78 vs. 1.80 +/- 1.67). The euploidy rate per biopsy blastocyst (48.4% vs. 49.1% vs. 33.1%), per oocyte retrieved (15.0% vs. 14.7% vs. 10.5%), and per MII oocyte (17.7% vs. 16.4% vs. 11.7%) were significantly higher in the cycles using the GnRH-ant and GnRH-a protocols than that of PPOS protocol group. Regression analyses indicated that, compared with the PPOS protocol, the GnRH-ant protocol was positively associated with the euploid blastocyst rate and the mean number of euploid blastocysts, whereas the GnRH-a protocol showed no such relationship.Limitations and reasons for cautionThe main limitation of this study was the retrospective design. Although this study also used other tests to account for confounding factors and reduce potential bias, multiple tests have its own weaknesses.ConclusionsGnRH-ant protocol was the most effective for PGT-A cycles. The findings emphasize the need for personalized treatment strategies, considering patient demographics, and optimizing COS protocols to enhance the chances of successful outcomes in ART procedures.
