Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of male’s factors on the pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET).
MethodsA total of 2 806 IVF cycles were retrospectively analyzed. The male factors in different pregnancy outcomes groups were compared, and the effects of male factors on pregnancy outcomes were analyzed by binary Logistic regression.
ResultsMale age in pregnancy group [(32.5±4.3) years] was younger than that in non-pregnancy group [(32.9±4.4) years]; male age [(32.4±4.3) years] and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level [(5.3±2.5) IU/L] in live birth group were smaller than those of non live birth group [(33.0±4.4) years, (5.5±2.6) IU/L]; male age [(33.5±4.3) years, FSH level [(5.9±3.0) IU/L] and body mass index (BMI) [(24.1±3.5) kg/m2] in spontaneous abortion group were higher than those of non spontaneous abortion group [(32.4±4.3) years, (5.3±2.5) IU/L, (23.5±3.3) kg/m2], there were statistical significances (P<0.05). In adjusted models of binary Logistic regression, after control the woman factors, the male factors had no effect on the pregnancy outcome of IVF-ET (P>0.05).
ConclusionMale factors, together with female factors, influence the pregnancy outcome of IVF-ET. When men with elder age, higher FSH level and BMI, the clinical pregnancy and live birth opportunities may be lower and miscarriage may be increased.
