Clinical factors of reproductive outcome after laparoscopic treatment in patients with endometriosis

Objective To investigate the factors correlated to the pregnancy rate of the patients with endometriosis after laparoscopy. Methods A total of 80 patients with endometriosis related infertile who received laparoscopic surgery in our hospital from January 2010 to January 2017 were enrolled in this study. The postoperative pregnancy of the patients and related factors were analyzed by logistic regression. Results The postoperative pregnancy rate was 37.5% (30/80). Among the pregnancies, 22 cases were ≤12 months, 8 cases >12 months.Logistic regression analysis revealed that postoperative combined medication [gonadotropin-releasing hormone-agonist (GnRH-a)] (OR=19.222, 95% CI: 3.528-104.731, P<0.05) and artificial proconceptive (OR=13.581, 95% CI: 1.913-96.397, P<0.05) are correlated with pregnancy rate after laparoscopic surgery. Conclusions Postoperative combined medication and artificial proconceptive are influencing factors of pregnancy rate after laparoscopy in endometriosis patients with infertile.
