UTJECAJ EMBRIO TRANSFERA NA ISHOD MPO – ANALIZA 6000 POSTUPAKA Borut Kovačič Dept. of Reproductive Medicine & Gynecologic Endocrinology University Clinical Centre Maribor
Introduction Factorswithpossibleimpact on embryotransferoutcome: • Cathetertype, • Catheterloading, • Transfer technique, • Team experience, • Use ofultrasound, • Locationofembryoreplacement in the uterus, • Uterus andcervixanatomy • Endometriumthicknessandcontractility • Lutealsupplementation, • Natural or stimulatedcycles • Fresh or frozen/thawedembryos • Embryostage, • Embryoselection, • Embryoquality, • No ofembryostransferred, • SingleEmbryo Transfer (SET) policies MATERIAL TECHNIQUE ANATOMY HORMONS EMBRYOS REGULATIONS
BLASTOCYST MORPHOLOGY Optimal:
BLASTOCYST MORPHOLOGY Suboptimal:
Blastocyst transfer outcome in youngpatientgroup(2779 cycles in period from 2001 - 2010)
Embryo transfer policiesforfavorizingsingleembryo transfer (SET): • Professional non-regulatoryconsensus(Finland) • Governmentalregulation: • Legislation - SET mustbe a norm (Sweden) • Reimbursementpolicies, stronglyfavorizing SET (Belgium, Sloveniafrom 2008) – semiobligatory • Cross-boarderpatients • Financialreasonsinfluencestheirdecisionabout SET.
Aimofthestudy: To comparetheembryo transfer outcome in youngSlovenianandforeignpatients (treated in Maribor IVF centre) in the period beforeandaftertheregulationof SET byreimbursementpolicy.
Material & methods: • Highriskpatientsfor multiple pregnancyafter IVF (N = 2406) • <36 yearsold, <3 previous IVF attempts, optimalembryos (blastocysts) • Slovenianpatients (N = 1833) • IVF Reimbursementpolicystimulates SET • Cross-boarderpatients (N = 573) • IVF treatment • according to ESHRE’s goodpracticeguidefor CBRC forcentersandpractitioners(Hum Rep, 2011) • Consultancy: SET advisedbygynecologystbefore ET: • Implantationrateperavailableembryo • Pregnancyand multiple pregnancyrateper same patientgroup • Medicalcomplicationsrelated to multiple pregnancy • Patientdecisionabout SET / DET / TET
Conclusions • Doubleblastocyst transfer does not increase IVF successrate in comparisonwithsingleblastocyst transfer. • Reimbursementpoliciesforfavorization SET are efficient in decreasingthe multiple pregnancies in Slovenianpatients. • Financialreasonsleadthecross-boarderpatients more frequently to decision on multiple embryotransfers. • Onlyobligatory SET policiescoulddecreasethe multiple pregnancyrate in youngcross-boarder IVF patients.
