Day 3 embryo quality is a predictor of in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates in cleavage-stage embryo transfer. However, the association between day 3 embryo quality and clinical outcomes in blastocyst transfer policy is largely unknown. This retrospective study included 1074 frozen-thawed single day 5/6 blastocyst transfers between January 2019 and December 2022. Three groups were assessed depending on whether the transferred blastocyst derived from a top-quality, good-quality, or poor-quality embryo at day 3. The analysis was conducted independently for each blastocyst quality group (top, good, and poor) using multivariable logistic regression. We applied a Factorial Analysis of Mixed Data (FAMD) to reduce the potential collinearity between the covariates used in the model. All the blastocysts included in this study were obtained from the first ICSI freeze-all cycles. The cleavage and blastocysts stages were assessed between 67 ± 0.5 (day 3), 115 ± 0.5 (day 5), and 139 ± 0.5 (day 6) hours post-insemination (hpi), respectively. After adjusting for the day of transfer (day 5 or day 6) and FAMD dimensions, no statistical differences in a β-HCG, clinical pregnancy, and live birth were observed among the same-quality blastocysts derived from different day 3 embryo quality groups (top = A, good = B, and poor = C). Our findings showed that a day 3 embryo quality assessment may be unnecessary in planned freeze-all blastocyst cycles. |
