Objective:To study the correlation between visceral fat and in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer(IVF-ET) outcome in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS), and to observe the effect of weight intervention on clinical outcome. Methods:From August 2016 to July 2017, a total of 180 women with PCOS who received IVF-ET for the first time in the center were included in this study, including 62 patients with non-visceral obesity(group A) and 118 patients with visceral obesity. The patients with visceral obesity were randomly divided into routine group(group B, n=60) and weight management group(group C, n=58). Patients in group A and group B began to receive IVF-ET treatment after diagnosis, while patients in group C received IVF-ET treatment after half-year weight management. Obesity-related indicators(body mass index(BMI), waist circumference(WC), waist hip ratio(WHR) and total fat percentage), endocrine reproductive hormone follicle stimulating hormone(FSH), luteinizing hormone(LH) and estradiol 2(E2) were measured in each group, and the fertilization and clinical outcomes of the patients in each group were followed up. Results:(1) The age, pregnancy time, FSH and E2 levels in three groups were not significant different(P>0.05), but BMI, WC, WHR, total fat percentage, visceral fat and LH levels were significantly higher in group B and C than those in group A(P<0.05). (2) The number of retrieved oocytes, and the rate of fertilization, excellent embryo and clinical pregnancy in group A were significantly higher than those in group B(P<0.05), and the incidence of abortion and moderate to severe OHSS was significantly lower than that in group B(P<0.05). (3) BMI, WC, WHR, total fat percentage, visceral fat level and LH level were significantly lower in group C after 6 months of weight management(P<0.05), while FSH and E2 levels were not significantly different from those before weight management with no statistical significance(P>0.05). (4) Patients in group C underwent IVF-ET after 6 months of weight management. The number of retrieved oocytes, and the rate of fertilization, excellent embryo and clinical pregnancy were significantly increased compared with those in group B(P<0.05),and the incidence of abortion and moderate to severe OHSS was significantly lower than those in group B(P<0.05). Conclusion:The clinical outcome of IVF-ET in patients with visceral obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome is poor, and the weight management can improve the clinical outcome of IVF-ET. |
