PURPOSE: To evaluate whether prior SARS-CoV-2 infection adversely affects live birth and perinatal outcomes following subsequent frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) and to further investigate whether the time interval between infection and …
CONTEXT: Abnormal endometrial extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling compromises endometrial receptivity and diminishes the probability of a successful live birth. Serum amyloid A1 (SAA1), a modulator of inflammation, is elevated in the circ…
BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance (IR) contributes to ovarian dysfunctions in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients. Serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) is an acute phase protein produced primarily by the liver in response to inflammation. In additi…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does preconception body mass index (BMI) affect neonatal outcomes in women with endometriosis who conceive with IVF? DESIGN: This retrospective study included 7086 women who delivered a singleton live birth through IVF b…
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported the association between embryo quality and perinatal outcomes in fresh cycles, after cleavage-stage or blastocyst embryo transfer, and found no significant difference. However, in terms of vitrifie…
Background: Eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis has functional changes in several aspects, which may largely account for the decrease in the quality of endometrial receptivity. It is of utmost importance to know whether freeze…
