Popis: ObjectiveEarly monitoring of plasma human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) level is vital in predicting pregnancy outcome. This study investigated the predictive value of serum β-hCG level on the seventh day after frozen–thawed embryo transfer (FET) for ongoing pregnancy (OP) and adverse pregnancy (AP).DesignRetrospective study.SettingThe Reproductive and Genetic Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, China.Participants1061 pregnant women who underwent FET between January 2014 and January 2017.Primary and secondary outcome measuresPregnancy outcome.ResultsSerum β-hCG levels on the seventh day after FET were higher in the single OP group compared with the biochemical pregnancy group (pConclusionSerum β-hCG on the seventh day after FET has good clinical significance for the prediction of OP and AP.
