Endometrial thickness is not predictive for live birth after embryo transfer, even without a cutoff
Fertility and Sterility Apr 05, 2021
Shakerian B, Turkgeldi E, Yildiz S, et al. - Via this retrospective study, researchers evaluated the predictive value of endometrial thickness (EMT) for live birth when a lower threshold of EMT is not employed for embryo transfer (ET). They included a total of 560 ET cycles, 273 fresh and 287 frozen-thawed, in the study. Women who achieved a live birth were comparable to those who did not after fresh or frozen-thawed ET with respect to relevant patient characteristics as well as EMTs. Outcomes suggest no predictive value of the EMT for live birth in either fresh or frozen-thawed ET cycles. After exclusion of intracavitary pathology and inadvertent progesterone exposure, potential for live birth in women with thinner EMTs should not be refuted as it is comparable to that of those with thicker EMT.
