Abstract:

Objective To investigate the factors associated with late spontaneous abortion after pregnancy in the patients assisted by assisted reproductive technology (ART) , and to illuminate the risk factors for late spontaneous abortion. Methods Using retrospective research method, the clinical data of 310 pregnant patients underwent ART were collected; according to the different pregnancy outcomes of patients, they were divided into term birth group (248 cases) and late abortion group (62 cases). The general situation, main causes and related factors of infertility, clinical situation and pregnancy outcomes of the patients in two groups were recorded, and the factors with P<0.05 in single factor regression analysis were included in the multivariate Logistic regression equation to further analyze the risk factors of late abortion. Results The differences in number of previous late miscarriages or preterm births, previous history of cervical LEEP or conization, previous history of hysteroscopic electrodesection, history of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS), body mass index (BMI), cycle type, endometrial thickness,whether twin pregnancies and ovulation disorder of the patients between two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05).The factors with P<0.05 were included in the multivariate Logistic regression equation,BMI(OR=1.194,95%CI:1.088-1.311, P<0.01),previous history of late abortion or premature delivery(OR=5.673,95%CI:1.189-27.069, P=0.029), history of cervical LEEP or conization(OR=5.113, 95%CI:1.025-25.496, P=0.047) and twin pregnancy(OR=5.129,95%CI:2.377-11.067,P<0.01) were the risk factors of late spontaneous abortion. Frozen thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycle was the protective factor of late abortion compared with fresh transplantation cycle (OR=0.422, 95% CI:0.219-0.814,P=0.010). Conclusion Previous history of premature or late abortion, cervical surgery,high BMI and multiple pregnancy are the risk factors of late spontaneous abortion after ART-assisted pregnancy of the patients, while FET is the protective factor of late spontaneous abortion.
