Abstract
Aims: To determine the impact of advanced endometriosis (EMS) on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and frozen-thawed embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-FET) outcomes and analyze the influencing factors. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on sterile women with ovarian endometriomas (OMAs), including patients who underwent laparoscopic cystectomy (n = 224, 224 IVF/ICSI cycles, 205 FET cycles) and aspiration (n = 139, 139 IVF/ICSI cycles, 148 FET cycles); peritoneal EMS (n = 96, 96 IVF/ICSI cycles, 89 FET cycles); and tubal factors (n = 360, 360 IVF/ICSI cycles, 474 FET cycles). Our main outcomes included the number of MII oocytes retrieved, fertilization rate, the number of viable embryos, viable embryo rate per oocyte retrieved in oocyte retrieval cycles, and clinical pregnancy rate per transfer, live birth rate per transfer, and cumulative clinical pregnancy rate of this oocyte retrieval cycle in FET cycles. Finally, binary logistic regression analysis was performed to generate a prediction model for cumulative clinical pregnancy. Results: The results showed that significantly fewer MII oocytes retrieved and viable embryos and lower viable embryo rate and cumulative clinical pregnancy rate were observed in women with EMS compared with the control. Women with peritoneal EMS had lower fertilization rate and viable embryo rate per oocyte retrieved than patients with OMA (all p < 0.05). However, the pregnancy outcomes were not significantly different between the two phenotypes. The patients who underwent laparoscopic cystectomy had fewer MII oocytes retrieved and viable embryos compared with those with intact endometrioma(s) but no significant difference in pregnancy outcomes between the two types of OMA patients. By binary logistic regression analysis, antral follicle count (AFC) was found to be an independent factor associated with cumulative clinical pregnancy in this oocyte retrieval cycle (odds ratio = 1.054; 95% confidence interval, 1.011-1.100; p = 0.014), and the AFC prediction model of cumulative clinical pregnancy was established, with an area under the curve of 0.60. Conclusions: Our data supported that advanced EMS has negative effect on cumulative clinical pregnancy per oocyte retrieval cycle, and AFC is an independent predictor, which is mainly caused by poor ovarian response associated with OMA per se or its surgery and the damage of peritoneal EMS to oocyte maturation.

Abstract
Endometriosis is an enigmatic disease that could start at birth. Its pathogenesis is supported by different theories. Accumulating facts relate it to a multigenic disorder. In this review of recent publications, the principal symptoms of the disease, pain and infertility, as well as its pathogenesis, diagnosis, and classification will be addressed. Endometriosis presents three main variants: superficial peritoneal disease, deep infiltrating endometriosis, and ovarian endometriomas. The management of the disease, surgery, and medical and alternative therapies will be discussed. Special reference will be made to the quality of surgery and how to understand patients with endometriosis and endometriosis.

Kolanska K, Cohen J, Bendifallah S, Selleret L, Antoine JM, Chabbert-Buffet N, Darai E, d'Argent EM. Pregnancy outcomes after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in women with endometriosis-associated infertility: GnRH-agonist versus GnRH-antagonist. J Gynecol Obstet Hum Reprod 2017; 46:681-686. [PMID: 28970135 DOI: 10.1016/j.jogoh.2017.09.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2017] [Revised: 09/19/2017] [Accepted: 09/25/2017] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND OR OBJECTIVE Endometriosis is common in women referred for infertility. In vitro fertilization provides good results but the choice of the best-controlled ovarian hyperstimulation protocol remains a subject of debate. The objective of this retrospective study was to compare pregnancy outcomes in women with endometriosis-associated infertility after COH with a long agonist protocol or a six-week oral contraception-antagonist protocol. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of a prospective database identified 284 COH cycles - 165 with GnRH-agonist protocol (GnRH-agonist group) and 119 with GnRH-antagonist protocol (GnRH-antagonist group) - in 218 women, with endometriosis from January 2013 to October 2015. RESULTS No difference in the epidemiological characteristics was found between the groups. Per started cycle, pregnancy and live-birth rates after fresh embryo transfer were higher with the GnRH-agonist protocol (25% vs. 13%, P=0.02 and 18% vs. 8%, P=0.04, respectively). Considering analysis per cycle with embryo transfer, the pregnancy rate was similar in both groups while the live-birth rate was higher in the GnRH-agonist group (29% vs. 17%, P=0.053 and 22% vs. 10%, P=0.02, respectively). No difference was observed between the groups with freeze-thaw embryo transfer. Subgroup analysis (endometrioma alone, deep infiltrating endometriosis with and without endometrioma, endometriosis with and without adenomyosis) revealed no difference between the groups for either pregnancy or live-birth rates. CONCLUSION A GnRH-agonist protocol appears to result in higher pregnancy and live-birth rates after fresh embryo transfer in women with endometriosis-associated infertility, suggesting that a GnRH-antagonist protocol might negatively impact endometrial receptivity.
