Abstract
AbstractElective single-embryo transfers of euploid or low-level mosaic blastocysts were analyzed in this retrospective study to determine the correlations of live birth (LB) probability with embryonic developmental features of implanted day 5 (D5, n = 245) or day 6 (D6, n = 73) blastocysts using time-lapse (TL) monitoring. According to the logistic regression analyses (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.341, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.169–0.685, P < 0.05), the LB probability was negatively associated with the D6 group. The LB rate of the D5 group was higher than the D6 group (88.2% vs. 75.3%; P < 0.05). Compared with the D5 blastocysts, the D6 blastocysts exhibited comparable dysmorphisms except for the multinucleation at the 4-cell stage (10.9% vs. 2.9%, P < 0.05). Moreover, D6 blastocysts had considerably slower developmental kinetics and poorer blastocyst morphologies. Further analysis confirmed that the LB rate was not associated with developmental kinetics or dysmorphisms but rather with blastocyst morphology (inner cell mass [ICM] grade ≤ C vs. ICM grade A, adjusted OR = 0.155, 95% CI = 0.04–0.596, P < 0.05; trophectoderm [TE] grade ≤ C vs. TE grade A, adjusted OR = 0.157, 95% CI = 0.032–0.760, P < 0.05). In conclusion, D6 implanted blastocysts have a considerably lower LB rate than D5 implanted blastocysts. As determined by TL monitoring, the diminished blastocyst morphology can be one of the primary reasons underlying the decreased likelihood of LB.
