Description

PGT-A is a hot topic in fertility medicine and I’m so happy that Dr. Eric Forman joined me to talk to us about a recent Chinese study published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Takeaways: - this study is getting a lot of attention because of the prestigious journal it’s published in - the study design isn’t how we do things in the real world: we don’t just biopsy three embryos - the average age was 29 of the patients and mean egg number 20 and we know from previous studies that PGT-A as a selection tool may help women over age 37 more than younger women - the cumulative live birth rate was higher in the PGT arm -  the study provided reassurances about PGT-A: the biopsy is safe, the group who did it had a higher implantation rate, similar cumulative live birth rate with fewer transfers, and fewer miscarriages. There were more congenital abnormalities in the non-biopsy group. A big thank you to Dr. Forman for breaking this all down for us and for sharing how PGT-A can improve the live birth rate on the first transfer and make elective single embryo transfer the standard of care across ages.
