PG - 323-331 LID - S1472-6483(20)30574-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.rbmo.2020.10.009 [doi] AB - RESEARCH QUESTION: Can premature luteinization of granulosa cells (PLGC) act as a novel parameter of premature luteinization and affect IVF outcomes? STUDY DESIGN: In this retrospective cohort study, infertile patients undergoing fresh IVF cycles between January 2006 and December 2016 at the Reproductive Medicine Center in Tongji Hospital were included. A total of 42,468 cycles were conducted. Propensity score matching was carried out to match the baseline characteristics, and participants were assigned to the PLGC group and control group. The main outcomes were pregnancy rate and live birth rate. RESULTS: Patient characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared before and after matching. In general, the fate of oocytes in the PLGC group was much worse than those in the control group after matching, including metaphase II rate, two-pronuclei rate, available embryo rate, blastocyst formation rate, high-quality blastocyst rate, pregnancy rate, implantation rate and live birth rate. Among those potential risk factors, gonadotrophin duration, oestradiol and progesterone on HCG day were positively associated with the occurrence of PLGC in the multivariate logistic regression model, with gonadotrophin dosage negatively related. Moreover, cumulus-oocyte complexes with PLGC showed a high correlation with elevated progesterone levels over 1.5 ng/ml. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings demonstrated the adverse effect of PLGC on oocyte competency. In evaluating cumulus-oocyte complexes, PLGC provide an available novel parameter for premature luteinization judgement in clinical and individualized precise treatment. Close monitoring of progesterone level as well as critical analysis of progesterone elevation can reduce the occurrence of premature luteinization.
