Association between estradiol levels and clinical outcomes of IVF cycles with single blastocyst embryo transfer

摘要

Objective:To determine the correlation of different serum estradiol levels on the trigger day with the clinical and laboratory outcomes of in-vitro fertilization(IVF)cycles comprising a single fresh top-quality blastocyst transfer.Methods:This was a retrospective observational study performed in Morula IVF Clinic Jakarta.Five hundred forty-two women were recruited and grouped according to their serum estradiol levels on the trigger day of follicular maturation as follows:0.05).Nonetheless,the study demonstrated a positive correlation of the serum estradiol levels with the overall laboratory outcomes including the number of retrieved,mature,and fertilized oocytes,the total sum of derived embryos,and top-quality embryos at cleavage and blastocyst stage(P<0.001).The subject group with estradiol level of≥4000 pg/mL was superior to the other groups in its respective median number of retrieved,mature,fertilized oocytes,total derived embryos,and top-quality cleavage-and blastocyst-stage embryos.Conclusions:Although an apparent positive correlation is observed between estradiol levels and laboratory outcomes,serum estradiol level on hCG trigger day is not associated with the clinical outcomes of IVF.
