Effect of GH Supplementation on the Blastocyst Euploid Rate in AMA Patients--A Retrospective Cohort Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This retrospective cohort study aims to investigate the effects of recombinant human growth hormone (rh-GH) on the euploid status of preimplantation blastocysts in AMA patients.
Infertile patients aged 38-46 years old were recruited for study if they fulfill the inclusion criteria and do not have the exclusion criteria.
Treatment group: Women received growth hormone (GH) supplement during antagonist protocol for ovarian stimulation.
Control group: Women received antagonist protocol for ovarian stimulation. The primary outcome is the euploidy rate of blastocysts per stimulation cycle and per testing cycle.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- euploidy rate per cycle [1 month after oocyte retrieval]
euploidy rate of blastocysts, calculated per stimulation cycle and per testing cycle
Secondary Outcome Measures
- ongoing pregnancy rate [12 weeks' gestation]
ongoing pregnancy is defined as a viable pregnancy beyond 12 weeks' gestation of the first frozen embryo transfer. Ongoing pregnancy rate=number of ongoing pregnancies/number of embryos transferred.
