Vietnamese researchers’ study has been published in the international journal Fertility and Sterility (Photo: VNA) HCM City (VNS/VNA) - The development of children born from a"freeze-only" transfer is similar to and even better than those bornfrom a "fresh embryo" transfer, according to a study conductedby Vietnamese researchers and published in the international journal Fertilityand Sterility.
The study,titled “Development of children born from freeze-only versus fresh embryotransfer: follow-up of a randomized controlled trial”, was conducted by doctorsat HCM City-based My Duc Hospital in co-operation with experts fromthe Obstetrics Department and Children Department at the HCM CityUniversity of Medicine and Pharmacy, and Adelaide and Monash universities inAustralia.
Fertility andSterility is an international journal forobstetricians, gynecologists, reproductive endocrinologists, urologists, basicscientists and others who treat and investigate problemsof infertility and human reproductive disorders. The journalpublishes juried original scientific articles.
The study, conducted by theMy Duc Hospital’s researchers, was of nearly 300 babies born from invitro fertilization (IVF), according to the hospital’s press release.
The researchers used the thirdEdition of Ages & StagesQuestionnaires (ASQ-3) to pinpoint developmental progress in children.
The data providedphysicians with additional information on which to base decisions about therelative merits of different approaches to infertility treatment. Theredid not appear to be any grounds for concern about worse outcomes afteruse of a freeze-only strategy.
However, additional studiescomparing childhood development after a freeze-only strategy, fresh ET, andnatural cycles are needed before firm conclusions can be drawn, accordingto the researchers.
The study followed upa topic which the expert Vuong Thi Ngoc Lan and her colleagues conducted,and was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2018 and waspresented the Ta Quang Buu Awards, the most prestigious annual awards forVietnamese researchers in 2020.
Transfer of embryos in afreeze-only method is gradually replacing the transfer of fresh embryosbecause the former is safer for the pregnant woman until delivery./.
