Abstract

ObjectiveTo study the predictive factors for non-ART pregnancy in infertile women after laparoscopic diagnosis and surgery for isolated superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SUP).Study designRetrospective observational study from January-2004 to December-2015 in a tertiary care university hospital and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) centre. Infertile women with laparoscopic surgery for SUP (with histologic diagnosis) were included. The surgical treatment was followed by spontaneous fertility or post-operative ovarian stimulation (pOS) using superovulation (gonadotrophins)±Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI). The main outcomes were the non-ART clinical pregnancy rates and its predictive factors.Result(s)Over the period study, 315 women were included. Of these, 133 (42.3%) women had non-ART pregnancy. The mean time to conceive was 6 months (±6days). Univariate analysis for non-ART pregnancy after surgery showed that: (i) no difference was observed according to age, length of infertility, Body Mass Index (BMI), the rate of previous pregnancy, and the pre-operative ovarian stimulation rate; (ii) diminished ovarian reserve and previous miscarriage were higher in the non-pregnant women group (8.3 versus 19.1%, p<0.05; 3.5% versus 9%, p=0.06, respectively); (iii) the mean EFI score and pOS were higher in pregnant women (7.7 versus 7.2, p=0.02; 49.2% versus 26.7%, p<0.01); and (iv) IUI did not show any benefit for pregnancy (22% after superovulation versus 27.2% after superovulation and IUI). In the multivariate analysis, only pOS (adjusted OR 2.504, 95% CI [1.537-4.077]) and DOR (aOR 0.420, 95% CI [0.198-0.891]) remained significantly associated with the incidence of pregnancy.Conclusion(s)After laparoscopic surgery for peritoneal superficial endometriosis related infertility, ovarian stimulation improved pregnancy rate, while diminished ovarian reserve had a worse prognosis for pregnancy.
