Clinical Scorecard: Endometrial Thickness Does Not Contribute to the Risk of Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancies Following IVF in Women with Male-Factor Infertility

At a Glance

CategoryDetail
ConditionHypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy (HDP)
Key MechanismsEndometrial thickness (EMT) measured via transvaginal ultrasound
Target PopulationWomen aged 20–40 years with male-factor infertility undergoing IVF
Care SettingRetrospective cohort study in a hospital setting

Key Highlights

  • Overall HDP rate was 3.67% with no significant difference across EMT groups.
  • Older maternal age and higher BMI were significant risk factors for HDP.
  • EMT was not associated with HDP risk in this study.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Measure endometrial thickness on the day of embryo transfer.

Management

  • Monitor maternal age and BMI as significant risk factors for HDP.

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Assess HDP incidence in pregnancies following IVF.

Risks

  • Older maternal age and BMI ≥ 24.0 Kg/m² increase HDP risk.

Patient & Prescribing Data

Women with male-factor infertility undergoing their first frozen-thawed embryo transfer.

Endometrial thickness does not influence the risk of HDP.

Clinical Best Practices

  • Utilize transvaginal ultrasound for accurate measurement of endometrial thickness.
  • Consider maternal age and BMI in risk assessments for HDP.
