Cut-off point of mature oocyte for routine clinical application of rescue IVM: a retrospective cohort study.
Journal of Ovarian Research 2023 November 23
BACKGROUND: The rescue in vitro mature(Rescue IVM) technique allows the use of immature oocytes collected in conventional COH to obtain more mature oocytes for fertilization through in vitro maturation. Some studies have shown that Rescue IVM could improve clinical outcomes in patients undergoing IVF/ICSI, but the effectiveness and the indications for the clinical application of this technique remain controversial. It remains to be studied whether Rescue IVM should be universally applied in all conventional IVF/ICSI cycles.
METHOD: This is a large retrospective cohort study that included a total of 22,135 female patients undergoing their first IVF treatment cycles. The effect of the number of mature oocytes(metaphaseII[MII]) on the cumulative live birth rate was investigated in a population with routine IVF/ICSI first. The receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC) analysis was used to explore the cut-off point of the number of MII affecting CLBR. Secondly, Patients undergoing ICSI with Rescue IVM were included in the analysis with those who underwent ICSI only during the same period, grouped according to the MII cut-off values. Multi-factor binary logistic regression and inverse probability weighting (IPW) were used to investigate whether Rescue IVM influenced the final cumulative live birth rate(CLBR).
RESULTS: The CLBR increased with the number of MIIoocytes (P < 0.001). The ROC analysis showed the cut-off point for the number of MIIoocytes to have a significant effect on CLBR was 9 (sensitivity 0.715, specificity 0.656). Furthermore, 912 patients who underwent ICSI with Rescue IVM were included and compared to those who underwent ICSI only during the same period, and found Rescue IVM significantly increased the number of available MIIoocytes. For patients with MII numbers < 9, Rescue IVM significantly improves their clinical pregnancy rate(55.6% vs. 46.7%, P = 0.001) and CLBR(65.4% vs. 48.1%, P < 0.001), but not for those patients with MII numbers ≥ 9.
CONCLUSION: This study further clarifies the candidates for the application of Rescue IVM technique: patients with an MII oocytes < 9 in a conventional IVF/ICSI cycle. In contrast, it is not necessary for patients who already have sufficient mature oocytes(≥ 9), to avoid over-medication.
