    This study included 2,536 women with male-factor infertility who underwent their first frozen-thawed embryo transfer and had a singleton live birth.

    The overall rate of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) was 3.67%, with no significant differences across endometrial thickness groups.

  • 3

    Older maternal age and higher BMI were identified as significant risk factors for HDP, while endometrial thickness was not associated with HDP risk.

  • 4

    Endometrial thickness was measured via transvaginal ultrasound on the day of embryo transfer, categorizing patients into three groups based on thickness.

    The study concluded that endometrial thickness does not significantly contribute to the risk of hypertensive disorders in pregnancies following IVF.
