Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy of a dry versus humidified incubator on human embryo development ex vivo. DESIGN:Prospective, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial. SETTING:Private fertility centers. PATIENT(S):A total of 297 women undergoing in vitro fertilization randomized into two groups. INTERVENTION(S):From days 0 to day 5 or 6 of culture, intervention group embryos exposed to dry culture and control group embryos exposed to humidified culture. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Subsequent ongoing pregnancy rate. RESULT(S):After transfer of embryos, there were statistically significantly lower rates of clinical and ongoing pregnancy in the dry culture arm than in the humidified culture arm (odds ratio [OR] 0.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.36-0.91; versus OR 0.54; 95% CI, 0.34-0.85). On day 3 of culture, embryo quality and compaction were lower in the dry culture group (OR 0.38; 95% CI, 0.32-0.45) than in the group exposed to humidified culture (OR 0.23; 95% CI, 0.19-0.27). On day 5 of culture, embryos in dry culture had a lower rate of blastocyst formation (OR 0.39; 95% CI, 0.33-0.46), quality (OR 0.34; 95% CI, 0.29-0.40), and cryopreservation (OR 0.41; 95% CI, 0.35-0.48). CONCLUSION(S):In this study, human embryos cultivated ex vivo in a dry incubator had statistically significantly decreased implantation and clinical and ongoing pregnancy rates. Our findings indicate the need for larger multicenter, randomized, controlled trials. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER:NCT01695096.
