Purpose The aim of this study was to determine whether in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes are associated with inherited thrombophilias. Methods Several databases including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were retrieved up to 12 January 2016. The quality of the included studies was assessed by two authors. The associations of the following mutations in inherited thrombophilias and IVF outcomes were explored: factor V Leiden (FVL), prothrombin gene G20210A mutation (PGM), 5,10-methylentetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T, MTHFR (A1298C) and activated protein C resistance (APCR). The main outcome measures included CPR and implantation rate (IR). The relative risk (RR) and its 95 % confidence interval (CI) were calculated for effect index. Heterogeneity test was evaluated by Chi-square based on Q statistic and I 2 statistics. Results A total of seven articles published between 2007 and 2015 with the ages of subjects between 30.9 and 36.2 were included. For subgroups analysis of CPR or IR, there were no significant differences in MTHFR (C377T), MTHFR (A1298C), FVL, PGM, and FVL/PGM mutation were found between the mutation group and control group (P > 0. 05). Conclusions IVF outcomes are not associated with FVL, PGM, MTHFR (C677T), MTHFR (A1298C), and APCR mutation in inherited thrombophilias.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
