New Data on Assisted Hatching in Assisted Reproduction – C.L.A.R. Consulting

“NEW DATA ON ASSISTED HATCHING IN ASSISTED REPRODUCTION

Assisted hatching (AH) — a technique used in assisted reproduction to help the embryo ‘hatch’ — is the subject of a unique analysis based on 1,678,872 unique embryo transfers from the Japanese Assisted Reproductive Technology Registry.

Key findings:

  • LA is extremely widespread: performed in 55% of cases.
  • After adjusting for confounding factors, the technique does not improve clinical pregnancy or live birth rates — and may even slightly reduce them.
  • It is associated with an increased risk of miscarriage, multiple pregnancy and placenta accreta spectrum.
  • However, a modest improvement in outcomes was observed in women < 35 years of age with frozen blastocyst transfers.

What this means for clinical practice:

  • AH should not be routinely applied to all patients.
  • It could have a targeted role depending on maternal age and cycle type.
  • These results, drawn from one of the largest datasets ever analyzed on the subject, highlight the importance of personalized strategies in assisted reproductive technology (ART).

A large retrospective study with a direct impact on recommendations and discussions surrounding ‘add-ons’ in assisted reproductive technology.”
