Popis: Purpose This pilot study aimed to evaluate the potential synergistic role of three-dimensional power Doppler angiography ultrasound and the expression of Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) protein in predicting the endometrial receptivity of fresh In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) cycles. Materials and methods This prognostic cohort study involved 29 good prognosis women who underwent fresh IVF cycles with fresh blastocysts transfer. Serial measurements of sub-endometrial parameters including vascularity index (VI), flow index (FI), and vascularization flow index (VFI) were conducted consecutively via power Doppler angiography on the day of oocyte maturation trigger, oocyte retrieval, and blastocyst transfer. Aspiration of endometrial secretion was performed on the day of embryo transfer. Results The mean index of VI and VFI on the trigger and oocyte retrieval day and also LIF protein concentration at the window of implantation were significantly higher in clinically pregnant women than that of the non-pregnant women (p 5.381, VFI > 1.483, LIF 703.5 pg/mL) produced an algorithm with high AUC (0.881) and high specificity (94.4%) for an adequate prediction of non-receptive endometrium. Conclusion VI and VFI index assessed on maturation trigger day and the expression of LIF protein concentration at the window of implantation provided sufficient information to predict endometrial receptivity. A large randomized control trial is needed to validate these findings.
