Does vitamin B12 influence clinical pregnancy outcome in the follicular-phase GnRH agonist protocol?
摘要
To investigate whether vitamin B12 levels affect IVF-ET pregnancy outcomes.
DesignSingle-center, retrospective, observational study.
DesignSingle-center, retrospective, observational study.
Main outcome measuresThe primary outcome was the clinical pregnancy rate (CPR).
ResultsAfter adjusting for Age, BMI, AMH, number of oocytes retrieved, cleavage-stage embryos/blastocysts, and the number of transferred embryos, when the vitamin B12 value was ≤358.7 pg/ml, for every 10 pg/ml increase in the vitamin B12 value, the clinical pregnancy rate increased by 4% (OR=1.04, 95% CI=1.00, 1.08, P=0.03).
ConclusionWithin a specific range (≤358.7 pg/mL), serum vitamin B12 levels may modestly contribute to improved clinical pregnancy rates in women undergoing IVF-ET with the follicular-phase GnRH agonist protocol, though further validation is required to confirm its clinical significance.
Trial registrationNone.
