Abstract
To investigate the effects of fresh embryo transfer and frozen-thawed embryo transfer on perinatal outcomes among patients with PCOS. Patients who underwent in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer at the reproductive medicine center of the Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from February 2013 to March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into the fresh embryo transfer group and frozen-thawed embryo transfer group according to whether fresh embryo transfer was performed. According to their conditions, patients were further classified into the ET-PCOS group (group A, n = 104), ET-non-PCOS group (group B, n = 212), FET-PCOS group (group C, n = 102), or FET-non-PCOS group (group D, n = 148); the general data, laboratory indicators and pregnancy outcomes of the patients were statistically analyzed, and the perinatal outcomes and related factors between the groups were compared and analyzed. The level of E2 on the HCG test day in the ET group was lower than that in the FET group. The natural birth rate of group D was lower than that of group A and group B, and the cesarean section rate was higher than that of group A and group B; the clinical pregnancy rate of group A was higher than that of group B and group D, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the total abortion rate, early abortion rate or late abortion rate between the groups (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in gestational age, neonatal sex or neonatal weight between the groups (P > 0.05). The incidence of placenta previa in Group B was significantly lower than that in Group D, and the difference was significant (P < 0.05). The incidence of fetal distress in Group B was significantly lower than that in Groups C and D, and the incidence of neonatal jaundice in Group D was significantly higher than that in Groups A and B (P < 0.05). In the multivariate analysis, the number of high-quality embryos was independent factors affecting clinical pregnancy, and the embryo transfer method was an independent factor affecting fetal distress and neonatal jaundice. Young PCOS patients without risk of OHSS have a high clinical pregnancy rate with fresh transplant cycles. PCOS disease itself has no significant effect on the perinatal outcomes of the mother or singleton infant. Frozen-thawed embryo transfer may increase the incidence of low placenta, fetal distress and neonatal jaundice.
