O impacto do índice de massa corpórea nos resultados de fertilização in vitro Impact of body mass index on in vitro fertilization outcomes
Abstract
OBJETIVO: avaliar o impacto do índice de massa corpórea (IMC) nos resultados de FIV/ICSI (Fertilização in vitro/injeção intracitoplasmática de espermatozoide) obtidos no Serviço de Reprodução Humana da Faculdade de Medicina do ABC. MÉTODOS: estudo retrospectivo que incluiu 488 ciclos de FIV/ICSI de 385 pacientes. As pacientes foram divididas em dois grupos de acordo com o IMC em peso normal (18,5 > IMC 25 kg/m²). Foram avaliados a dose de hormônio folículo-estimulante recombinante (FSHr) utilizada, as taxas de cancelamento dos ciclos por resposta ovariana, e os resultados do laboratório de reprodução assistida como o número de oócitos, número de embriões de boa qualidade, número de embriões transferidos, e as taxas de gravidez, gestação química, abortamento e nascimentos. Para a comparação das variáveis quantitativas entre os grupos foi utilizado o teste t e o teste χ2 para comparação entre as variáveis qualitativas. Os valores de pPURPOSE: to evaluate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) outcomes performed at the Human Reproduction Center of Faculdade de Medicina do ABC. METHODS: retrospective data from 488 IVF cycles of 385 patients. Patients were classified into two groups according to BMI: normal weight (18.5-24.9 kg/m²) and overweight/obesity (>25 kg/m²). We evaluated the dose of recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (FSHr), the cancellation rates for ovarian cycle response, and the results of the assisted reproduction laboratory such as number of oocytes, number of good quality embryos, number of embryos transferred, and pregnancy rates, chemical pregnancy rates, miscarriage rate and live birth rate. The t test was used for comparison of quantitative variables between groups, and the χ2 test for comparison between qualitative variables. P values <0.05 were considered significant. RESULTS: considering ovulation induction characteristics, there was no statistically significant difference between groups regarding the FSHr dose administered or the cancellation rates, p=0.47 and p=0.85, respectively. Regarding laboratory findings, the number of oocytes retrieved per cycle was similar for both groups (p=0.09), as also was the number of good quality embryos obtained and transferred (p=0.7 and p=0.6). The pregnancy rate per embryo transfer was 27.6% for the group of normal weight and 29.6% for the overweight/obese group (p=0.76). Miscarriage rates and birth rates were similar for both groups, p=0.54 and p=0.94. CONCLUSION: BMI did not influence IVF/ICSI outcomes evaluated.
