Influence of hypothyroidism on in vitro fertilization outcomes

چکیده
Purpose: To analyze whether the thyroid status is affecting in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) outcomes. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we reviewed the medical records of 426 infertile women who underwent IVF/ICSI cycles. Included were hypothyroid (HypoT-LT4) patients with serum thyroidstimulating hormone (TSH) concentrations > 4.0 μIU/mL, which were treated with levothyroxine (LT4) (n = 28), untreated subclinical hypothyroid (scHypoT) (n = 128), as well as euthyroid (euT) patients (n = 270). Measured parameters were total gonadotropin (Gn) dosage, luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol and progesterone (P) serum concentrations on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger day, number of retrieved oocytes, mature (metaphase II) oocytes, fertilization rate, the number of two pronuclei (2PN) embryos, top quality embryos on day 3 of development, number of embryos transferred, endometrial thickness as well as implantation, clinical pregnancy, miscarriage and ongoing pregnancy rates. Results: HypoT-LT4 women had significantly decreased implantation (P = 0.046) and ongoing pregnancy (P = 0.034) rates as well as increased pregnancy loss (P = 0.042) and chemical pregnancy rates (P = 0.035) compared to euT and scHypoT women. scHypoT patients had significantly decreased single clinical pregnancy (P = 0.038) and increased twin pregnancy (P = 0.034) rates compared to euT and HypoT-LT4 women. The percentages of transfer per retrieval cycles and βhCG positive transfer cycles, clinical pregnancy rates per transfer cycles, as well as ectopic pregnancy rates and the occurrence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndromes (OHSS) were similar among the 3 groups. Conclusions: HypoT-LT4 patients had low implantation and high pregnancy loss rates. There was no evidence that IVF/ICSI outcomes were impaired among scHypoT and euT patients.

Effects of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) level on clinical pregnancy rate via In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) procedure
Background :Subclinical hypothyroidism may adversely affect In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) outcomes. However the cutoff of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) for diagnosis and treatment is controversal. The aim of this study was to find the association of clinical pregnancy rate with regard to TSH levels in women undergoing IVF. Methods: A historical cohort study of 816 infertile patients who ...

BACKGROUND Previous studies examining associations between subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) with in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome indicate some benefits of levothyroxine (LT4) treatment. But IVF outcomes in treated SCH women whose serum Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) concentration did and did not exceed 2.5 mIU/L before the IVF cycle has not been studied thoroughly. METHODS In this stu...

Objective Recently the laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) has been used as a surgical treatment for ovulation in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), although its mechanism and outcomes are still unclear. This study was undertaken to evaluate the in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes in clomiphene-resistant women with PCOS who were treated with...
