摘要

Purpose

To develop and validate a predictive model for live birth (LB) outcomes in single euploid frozen embryo transfers (seFET) based on patient’s characteristics and embryo parameters.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was performed including 1979 seFET performed between March 2017 and December 2023. Prediction models were built using logistic regression (LR), random forest classifier (RFC), support vector machines (SVM), and a gradient booster (XGBoost). Considered variables associated with LB outcomes were blastocyst expansion, blastocyst inner cell mass (ICM) and TE quality, day (D) of TE biopsy (D5, D6, and D7), female age and body mass index (BMI), distance from the uterine fundus at embryo transfer, endometrial preparation as natural cycles (NC) or hormonal replacement therapy (HRT), and endometrial thickness. Model performance was evaluated using area under the precision-recall curve and calibration metrics.

Results

Variables that were negatively associated with LB rate were BMI (OR = 0.79 [0.64–0.96], P = 0.020 for overweight and OR = 0.76 [0.60–0.95], P = 0.015 for obese class I/II), ICM grade B (OR = 0.72 [0.57–0.90], P = 0.005) or C (OR = 0.21 [0.15–0.30], P < 0.001), TE grade C (OR = 0.32 [0.24–0.43], P < 0.001), and blastocyst biopsied on D6 (OR = 0.66 [0.55–0.80], P < 0.001 or D7 (OR = 0.19[0.09–0.37], P < 0.001). The LR model was the best in terms of overall classification performance (C-statistics: 0.626 ± 0.018 vs. 0.606 ± 0.018, 0.581 ± 0.018, 0.601 ± 0.017, LR vs. RFC, XGBoost, and SVM, respectively, P < 0.001). A prediction model of LB outcome was developed and is free to access: https://artfertilityclinics.shinyapps.io/ABLE/.

Conclusion

LR demonstrated a stable validation performance and superior LB prediction, aiding as a predictive tool for patient counselling and assessing success in seFET cycles.
