ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) on first transfer live birth rate (LBR) and cumulative LBR (CLBR) in donor oocyte IVF cycles.
DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study of the SART CORS database.
SUBJECTS: 11,348 fresh and 7,214 frozen-thawed donor oocyte IVF cycles were analyzed.
EXPOSURE: The first reported donor stimulation cycle per patient between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2015, and all linked embryo transfer cycles between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2016, were included in the study.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: LBR was compared for patients using fresh and frozen-thawed donor oocytes, with or without PGT-A. Logistic regression models were adjusted for age, body mass index, gravidity, infertility etiology, and prior IVF cycles.
RESULTS: Among patients who had blastocysts available for transfer or PGT-A, use of PGT-A was associated with a decreased first transfer LBR (46.9 vs 53.2%, p <0.001) and CLBR (58.4 vs 66.6%, p <0.001) in fresh oocyte donor cycles compared with no PGT-A. LBR in frozen-thawed oocyte donor cycles with PGT-A were nominally higher than those without PGTA (48.3% vs. 40.5%) but were not statistically significant in multivariable logistic regression models (p=0.14). Early pregnancy loss was not significantly different with and without PGT-A. Multiple gestation, preterm birth, and low birthweight infants were all reduced with addition of PGT-A in fresh donor oocyte cycles, though these outcomes were not significantly different when comparing single embryo transfers in fresh oocyte cycles and also not significantly different among frozen-thawed donor oocyte cycles.
CONCLUSION: PGT-A in fresh oocyte donor cycles was associated with decreased LBR and CLBR, while effects on frozen-thawed oocyte donor cycles were clinically negligible. Obstetrical benefits associated with PGT-A in fresh donor cycles appear linked to increased single embryo transfer.
