Abstract

Purpose

To study whether the history of induced abortion has an effect on the assisted reproduction outcomes in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization–embryo transfer (IVF–ET).

Methods

3045 patients who underwent IVF–ET in the Department of Human Reproductive Center of Renmin Hospital from January 2017 to June 2021. They were divided into two groups according to whether there was a history of induced abortion in the past, and the outcomes were compared between the two groups.

Results

The clinical pregnancy rate in the group with induced abortion history was lower than that in the group without induced abortion history (63.1% vs 67.1%), but the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.059). The spontaneous abortion rate in the group with induced abortion history was higher than that in the group without induced abortion history (14.9% vs 11.2%) (P = 0.044). The live birth rate in the group with induced abortion history was lower than that in the group without induced abortion history (52.8% vs 59.0%) (P = 0.006). Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that endometrial thickness (OR = 0.928, 95% CI = 0.886 ~ 0.972, P = 0.002) and live birth rate (OR = 0.682, 95% CI = 0.495 ~ 0.939, P = 0.019) were negatively correlated with induced abortion history. The rate of spontaneous abortion (OR = 1.452, 95% CI = 1.042 ~ 2.024, P = 0.028) was positively correlated with the history of induced abortion.

Conclusions

The previous history of induced abortion is related to the outcomes of IVF /ICSI–ET, the endometrial thickness on HCG trigger day decreased, the risk of spontaneous abortion increased and the live birth rate decreased in patients with induced abortion history when undergoing IVF/ICSI–ET.
