The threshold effect of factors associated with spontaneous abortion in human-assisted reproductive technology.

We explored the independent risk factors associated with cases of spontaneous abortion in infertile patients treated with human-assisted reproductive technology (ART) and established a smooth curve fit and perform a threshold effect analysis can provide guidance and a valuable reference for predicting the probability of spontaneous abortion. This was a retrospective cohort study of 16,097 patients successfully conceived with ART in Shangqiu First People's Hospital from June 2013 to December 2018. Overall, 2,378 (14.77%) had an abortion and 13,719 (85.23%) did not have an abortion. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that female age (OR 1.050; 95% CI 1.032-1.069; P < 0.001), male age (OR 1.100; 95% CI 1.086-1.115; P < 0.001), follicular-stimulating hormone (OR 1.049; 95% CI 1.022-1.076; P < 0.001), anti-Mullerian hormone (OR 0.893; 95% CI 0.862-0.925; P  32 years (cut-off point) old, age and the risk of spontaneous abortion were positively correlated. When follicular-stimulating hormone > 6.1 IU/L (cut-off point), follicular-stimulating hormone was positively correlated with the occurrence of spontaneous abortion, When anti-Mullerian hormone ≤ 3.1 ng/mL (cut-off point), anti-Mullerian hormone was negatively correlated with the occurrence of spontaneous abortion and there was a linear positive correlation between antral Follicle Counting and live birth. In addition, the older the male age, the higher the incidence of abortion. The smooth curve fit and threshold effect analyses can provide a more detailed estimate of the probability of spontaneous abortion for pregnant couples.
