[Comparision of in vitro maturation applied in PCOS and non-PCOS patients undergo stimulated and unstimulated protocols].

OBJECTIVE: To compare the laboratory and clinical results between unstimulated in vitro maturation (IVM) and IVM converted from in vitro fertilization (IVF) in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and non-PCOS patients.

METHODS: We divided 591 IVM cycles in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical Univesity from Jan. 2008 to Dec. 2013 into 4 groups: group A1B1, PCOS patients underwent unstimulated IVM protocol, 240 cycles; group A1B2, PCOS patients underwent IVM converted from conventional stimulated IVF protocol, 153 cycles; group A2B1, non-PCOS patients underwent unstimutlated IVM protocol, 103 cycles; group A2B2, non-PCOS patient underwent IVM converted from conventional stimulated IVF protocol, 95 cycles. Multiple linear regression method and binary logistic regression method were used to assess the influence of PCOS and protocols for IVM on laboratory and clinical outcomes.

RESULTS: The mean number of oocytes retrieved was positively related with PCOS [partial regression coefficient (B) = 3.37, P < 0.01]. The maturation rate of oocytes was positively related with hCG-prime prior to oocyte aspiration (B = 0.05, P = 0.010). High-quality embryo rate was positively related with PCOS and IVM converted from IVF (B = 0.08, P = 0.010; B = 0.09, P = 0.001), as well as implantation rate related with them (B = 0.07, P = 0.010; B = 0.10, P < 0.01). PCOS and IVM converted from IVF improved hCG positive (hCG>10 U/L) rate (OR = 1.636, 95%CI: 1.113-2.204, P < 0.05; OR = 1.861, 95%CI: 1.307-2.649, P < 0.05) and the clinical pregnancy rate (OR = 1.507, 95%CI: 1.041-2.240, P < 0.05; OR = 1.881, 95%CI: 1.312-2.696, P < 0.05). IVM converted from IVF protocol decreased the spontaneous abortion rate (OR = 0.490, 95%CI: 0.245-0.978, P < 0.05). Multiple gestation rate and ectopic pregnancy rate were not affected by PCOS condition and protocol used (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS: PCOS and IVM converted from IVF protocol improved the high-quality embryo rate, implantation rate, hCG positive rate and clinical pregnancy rate. IVM converted from IVF protocol reduced the spontaneous abortion rate. PCOS patients may be more suitable for the IVM treatment. No matter PCOS or non-PCOS patients, IVM converted from IVF protocol had better pregnancy outcome than that of unstimulated cycle.
