Comparative analysis of pregnancy outcomes in preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy and conventional in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer: a stratified examination on the basis of the quantity of oocytes and blastocysts from a multicenter randomized controlled trial
To investigate variations in pregnancy outcomes between preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) and conventional in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment across distinct groups categorized by oocyte and blastocyst counts. Because the live birth rate (LBR) of assisted reproductive technology treatment is influenced by the number of oocytes and blastocysts retrieved. Our previous study indica ted comparable cumulative LBRs (CLBRs) between conventional IVF-ET and PGT-A. (Source: Fertility and Sterility)

Why laboratory-developed test for endometrial receptivity analysis may have failed to deliver
I read with great interest recent articles by Arian et al. (1) that raise doubts about the clinical utility of endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA)–guided personalized embryo transfers. The ERA test comprises customized 238-gene microarray panel (replaced now by next-generation sequencing) for precise dating and successful implantation during assi sted reproduction. The use of ERA may fail in the lack of understanding of underlying mechanisms that result in nonreceptive endometrium. (Source: Fertility and Sterility)

To the editor: patient selection for ovarian tissue cryopreservation: should there be a strict age limit?
We thank Brady (1) for their editorial accompanying our manuscript (2). We agree that the age at ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) is a critical factor in ovarian tissue transplantation (OTT) success, similar to how age affects in vitro fertilization treatment success rates. However, because there are numerous factors that affect OTT success, we do not impose a strict age limit on patient selection. (Source: Fertility and Sterility)

Underlying parental infertility and offspring cardiometabolic risk
There remains long-standing interest in the health of children conceived with fertility treatments, particularly conception after the use of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs). These concerns include the potential for epigenetic changes in early development (1). However, apart from issues of reproducibility, because the ART techniques have changed dramatically over the years, what has also been difficult to disentangle is the confounding due to underlying infertility. In other words, what causes infertility, rather than its treatment, may be what increases long-term health risks to the child. (Source: Fertility and Sterility)

Intravaginal exposure to seminal plasma after ovum pick-up does not increase live birth rates after in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment: a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial
To detect whether intravaginal exposure to prepared seminal plasma led to an absolute increase in live birth rate (LBR) after in vitro fertilization (IVF) by 10% compared with placebo. It has been suggested that intravaginal deposition of seminal plasma after ovum pick-up (OPU) for IVF treatment, increases pregnancy and LBRs. (Source: Fertility and Sterility)

Closing the gap on racial disparities —Increasing race and ethnicity demographics reporting in the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinic Outcome Reporting System Registry
Even though recording race and ethnicity has been a mandatory reporting field in the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinic Outcome Reporting System (SART CORS) since the 1990s, up to 48% of cycles reported to SART CORS have been missing this basic demographic metric since 1999. There has been an incremental improvement over the past 20 years, and missing data decreased to 36% for the 2014 –2019 reporting period (1). Although it is unlikely that there would ever be 100% compliance in reporting race and ethnicity in a registry, even this “improved” number is disturbingly high. (Source: Fertility and Sterility)
