Competence of embryos showing transient developmental arrest during in vitro culture
2021
Overview
PurposeIn vitro developing embryos may apparently show no developmental progress during 24 h and resume their development up to the blastocyst stage. The present study was conducted to assess their ability to implant and to give rise to a live birth when replaced at day 5 (fresh or vitrified/warmed) as compared to continuously developing embryos.MethodsEmbryo development follow-up and grade were prospectively recorded in a photo database. The studied period was from April 2011 to July 2017. The studied embryos included transient arrested embryos (TAE) that showed the same developmental stage at two subsequent observations, i.e. between day 2 and day 3 (d2 and d3), between day 3 and day 4 (d3 and d4) and between day 4 and day 5 (d4 and d5). TAE were compared to continuously developing embryos (CDE). Elective day 5 embryo transfers were performed.ResultsWoman age was higher in TAE (34.3±3.9) than in CDE (32.9±4.8) (p<0.01). TAE were more frequently (63.1%) observed after ICSI than after conventional IVF (55.9%) (p<0.01). Implantation rate was reduced in TAE as compared to CDE, after both fresh (10.0% vs 23.8% [p<0.01]) and vitrified/warmed (12.9% vs 19.0% [p<0.01]) embryo transfers. Delivery rate was also lower after the transfer of fresh (8.3% vs 19.4% [p<0.01]) and vitrified/warmed (8.5% vs 14.1% [p<0.01]) TAE as compared to CDE. Implantation and delivery rates were not statistically different whether embryo arrested between day 2 and day 3 (d2 and d3), between day 3 and day 4 (d3 and d4) or between day 4 and day 5 (d4 and d5).ConclusionTAE may be considered for transfer at a lower priority than CDE and associated with inferior prognosis than CDE.
