Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
To evaluate whether preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) is beneficial for patients who have only one blastocyst available for biopsy or transfer.
Methods
This retrospective study was based on 1126 single blastocyst PGT-A and 938 non-PGT-A cycles, a total of 2064 ART cycles which resulted in a single good quality blastocyst in women between 20 and 45 years old. The PGT-A group had 225 single euploid embryo transfer cycles and the non-PGT-A group had 938 single blastocyst embryo transfer cycles.
Results
In the generalized linear mixed model (GLMM), female age and PGT-A variables were found to be significant variables on pregnancy outcomes. In the PGT-A cases, regardless of the effect of other variables, the probabilities of clinical pregnancy and live birth were found to be 3.907 and 3.448 fold higher respectively than in the non-PGT-A cases (p < 0.001). In non PGT-A cases, the probability of a total pregnancy loss was found to be 1.943 fold higher (p = 0.013).
Conclusion
PGT-A in the presence of a single blastocyst significantly increases clinical pregnancy and live birth rates and decreases total pregnancy losses regardless of age. In addition, aneuploid embryo transfer cancelations prevent ineffective and potentially risky transfers.
