Effect of paternal smoking on pre-implantation embryonic development: a prospective cohort study

CONCLUSION: Even if a few differences were observed in the first timing of embryonic events, this study did not highlight a major embryonic and clinical impact of the paternal smoking status.IMPLICATION: The results obtained here are reassuring towards IVF outcomes. As maternal smoking is highly controlled in the IVF patients in this study, we speculate that the sperm selection process may limit the adverse effects of tobacco consumption on embryo development.PMID:36031716 | DOI:10.1071/RD22093
