Comparison of aneuploidy rate in spontaneous abortion chorionic villus between D6 and D5 thawed-frozen blastocyst transfer

Abstract

Abstract Background To compare the aneuploidy rate in spontaneous abortion chorionic villus (SA-CV) after D5 and D6 thawed-frozen blastocyst transfer(TBT). Methods This retrospective cohort study recruited 522 patients with early spontaneous abortion from March 2012 to January 2020 in the our center. The aneuploidy rate of SA-CV was compared according to the blastocyst development stage: D5 group (n = 398) and D6 group (n = 124). Results Patients’ characteristics, including age, body mass index, follicle-stimulating hormone, fertilization methods, type of infertility, infertility duration, and gestational age when abortion, did not differ between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Although the mean number of embryos was significantly higher in D6 than in the D5 group (P 35 years or ≤ 35 years), the difference between the D5 and D6 groups remained not statistically significant (P = 0.247 and P = 0.690). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that women’s age was independently associated with the aneuploidy rate (OR = 0.891; 95% CI: [0.854–0.930]; P 35 years group than in the age ≤ 35 years group (61.0% vs. 39.4%, P < 0.001). Other factors, including blastocyst formation speed, were not significant predictors of aneuploidy rate. Conclusions The rate of chromosomal aneuploidy in SB-CV after D6 TBT was comparable to that after D5 TBT. Chromosomal aneuploidy may not be a main factor contributing to the high prevalence early pregnancy loss at D6 group.
