An Advanced SWOT Analysis of Elective Vitrification, Today’s Standard IVF Procedure – RBMO
Reproductive BioMedicine Online (RBMO) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“This new Review, authored by a global team of experts takes the form of a SWOT analysis, to evaluate whether a freeze-all strategy may be advised for all patients regardless of their (predicted) ovarian response.
It is concluded that elective vitrification is likely favourable for high responders as it results in an improved chance of live birth following single embryo transfer, and is likely equally successful for normal responders. One trial in low responders indicated that the live birth rate may be compromised, which needs further confirmation in the future.
This SWOT analysis of embryo transfer deferral also concluded that this approach allows the number of oocytes per stimulation cycle to be maximized safely in order to improve the chance of pregnancy. To minimize the risk for obstetric and perinatal complications in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles, (modified) natural cycles should be considered as the preferred approach for regular cycling women.
As with all RBMO Review articles this article is free to read, and can be accessed ahead of press from issue 53.1, now.”
