Abstract
To compare monozygotic twinning (MZT) rates in patients undergoing fresh embryo transfer (ET) and frozen embryo transfer. All clinical pregnancies after single ET carried out in our IVF center between 2014 and 2018 (n = 8459) were retrospectively analyzed for the incidence of MZT. MZT rate was compared in women who underwent fresh ET (n = 3876) and frozen ET (n = 4583). There was a total of 120 MZT identified in the fresh ET group (3.10%) and 103 MZT in the frozen ET group (2.25%), which was significant (p = 0.015). In the univariate analysis, the risk of MZT was decreased with frozen embryo transfer (OR 0.72; 95% CI, 0.55-0.94, p = 0.016) and increased with mild stimulation protocol in the fresh cycle (OR 1.90; 95% CI, 1.04-3.45, p = 0.036). Multivariable logistic regression revealed that frozen embryo transfer was associated with a significant decrease risk of MZT (adjusted OR 0.66; 95% CI, 0.46-0.90, p = 0.011). Frozen ET is associated with a lower risk of MZT.
