“…The role of adenomyosis on IVF success rate is yet to be determined. Some studies (25,26) but not others (27,28) have shown that adenomyosis may increase miscarriage rates or decrease implantation rates. In our study, women with adenomyosis had a lower delivery rates than women with normal uterine appearance (visualized through TVS and surgery; Tables 3 and 4).…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, nine original studies have been published using this study design, most of them during the past 3 years (Ballester et al, 2012;Chiang et al, 1999;Costello et al, 2011;Martínez-Conejero et al, 2011;Maubon et al, 2010;Mijatovic et al, 2010;Salim et al, 2012;Thalluri and Tremellen, 2012;Youm et al, 2011). Results from these contributions, however, are conflicting, with four of them suggesting an association (Ballester et al, 2012;Maubon et al, 2010;Thalluri and Tremellen, 2012;Youm et al, 2011) and five failing to document any statistically significant effect (Chiang et al, 1999;Costello et al, 2011;Martínez-Conejero et al, 2011;Mijatovic et al, 2010;Salim et al, 2012). Differences in study design, study power, criteria and instrument used to diagnose adenomyosis and choice of controls may explain these discrepancies (Vercellini et al, 2014).…”

Research on the effect of adenomyosis on the rate of success of IVF is controversial. Differences in study design, study power, criteria and instrument used to diagnose adenomyosis and choice of controls may explain these discrepancies. To establish whether embryo implantation is impaired in women with adenomyosis, women scheduled for IVF were prospectively evaluated for the presence of adenomyosis and whether this condition affected embryo implantation. Forty-nine women with adenomyosis diagnosed at transvaginal ultrasound with no abnormal uterine bleeding were recruited. They were matched for study period, age, day of embryo transfer and number of transferred embryos to 49 controls without the disease. In women with adenomyosis, 24 out of 76 embryos transferred implanted (32%); this occurred in 16 out of 76 (21%) in unaffected controls. The crude odds ratio of implantation in affected women was 1.73 (95% CI 0.83 to 3.60). The odds ratio adjusted for body mass index (the unique variable found to differ at univariate analysis) was 1.78 (95% CI 0.85 to 3.77). In conclusion, implantation rate is not impaired in asymptomatic women who are diagnosed with adenomyosis at transvaginal sonography. Affected women can be reassured about the effect of this condition on their chances of success.

“…Salim et al [2] reported that the clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) and ongoing pregnancy rate were significantly lower, and the miscarriage rate significantly higher, in 19 women with adenomyosis versus 256 women without adenomyosis. Costello et al [3 ]reported that the presence of adenomyosis did not adversely affect the outcome in women undergoing in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatment. The most recent systematic review of five existing studies failed to draw any definite conclusions about the effect of adenomyosis on the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology because of major differences in study design and populations [4].…”

Aims: To study the effect of adenomyosis on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) outcomes in infertile patients. Methods: We performed a retrospective, database-searched cohort study based on 10,268 patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and IVF/ICSI between 2009 and 2011 in our unit. Adenomyosis was diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasound. A high-quality matched cohort study with strict inclusion criteria was conducted. We compared the basic characteristics and main IVF/ICSI outcomes between the two groups. Results: We identified 83 patients with adenomyosis, of whom we included 77, and strictly matched them to 77 patients without adenomyosis. Higher day 3 estrogen levels and a longer duration of gonadotropin stimulation days were found in women with adenomyosis compared to control subjects. Patients with adenomyosis had a nonsignificant trend toward a lower clinical pregnancy rate and a higher miscarriage rate (p = 0.103 and 0.09, respectively). The delivery rate was significantly lower in the adenomyosis group in comparison to the matched controls (p = 0.022). Conclusions: Within the limitations of a retrospective study (albeit with a remarkably large number of observations), our results suggest that transvaginal ultrasound-diagnosed adenomyosis could have a negative impact on the main IVF/ICSI outcomes. Improving the diagnostic validity and scoring of disease severity in patients with adenomyosis is suggested.
