THE CLINICAL OUTCOME OF ONE BLASTOCYST TRANSFER THROUGH TIMELAPSE TECHNIQUE AT ART CENTER, VINMEC TIMES CITY HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Analysis of the association between abnormal morphokinetics of early embryos and clinical outcomes. Materials and Methods: the study conducted on 88 frozen embryo transfer cycles, with only 1 blastocyst. Blastocysts were made from ICSI cycles and cultured by timelapse system. Patients were evaluated for pregnancy outcomes by βhcg testing on day 14 post-embryo transfer and follow-up ultrasound until the ongoing pregnancy, at 10 weeks. Results: the βhcg (+) rate, the clinical pregnancy rate, the ongoing pregnancy rate were 62,5%, 55,7%, 51,1% respectively. The pregnancy rate of the group without abnormality in division were higher than that in the group with abnormality at 2 stages of division, the βhcg (+) rate (67% vs 51%), the clinical pregnancy rate (61% vs 41%), and the ongoing rate (56% vs 37%), the difference is no significant. There was no case of pregnancy after embryo transfer with vaculation in blasomere. Conclusion: embryos that did not appear abnormal division during the early stage of development will have a better pregnancy outcome than embryos with abnormalities present twice. However, studies with larger sample sizes are needed to obtain more reliable results.
