Predictive value of 3D ultrasound assessment of endometrial receptivity for PGD/PGS for transfer pregnancy outcome

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the predictive value of three-dimensional ultrasound assessment of endometrial receptivity in PGD/PGS transplantation patients on pregnancy outcome. METHODS: 280 patients undergoing PGD/PGS transplantation were enrolled and divided into group A and group B according to the patients’ pregnancy outcomes. The general conditions, endometrial receptivity indexes of the two groups were compared. Multifactorial logistic regression analysis was used to determine the factors influencing pregnancy outcome in PGD/PGS transplant patients. ROC curves were plotted to analyze the predictive value of 3D ultrasound parameters on pregnancy outcome. The results of the study were validated with patients who underwent FET transplantation, and the patients in the validation group were treated with the same 3D ultrasound examination method and treatment plan as the observation group. RESULTS: The differences in basic situations between two groups were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The percentage of endometrial thickness, endometrial blood flow, and endometrial blood flow classification type II + II were higher in group A than in group B (P < 0.05). Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that endometrial thickness, endometrial blood flow and endometrial blood flow classification were influencing factors of pregnancy outcome in PGD/PGS patients. The sensitivity of predicting pregnancy outcome based on the results of transcatheter 3D ultrasound was 91.18%, the specificity was 82.35%, and the accuracy was 90.00%, which has a high predictive value. CONCLUSION: 3D ultrasound can predict pregnancy outcome by assessing the endometrial receptivity of PGD/PGS transplantation, in which endometrial thickness and endometrial blood flow have a good predictive value.
