    Noninvasive chromosomal screening (NICS) using spent embryo culture medium (SECM) shows high detection success rates in embryo selection.

  • 2

    Frozen-thawed embryos exhibit superior sensitivity and positive predictive value in NICS compared to fresh embryos.

  • 3

    The overall detection performance of NICS in frozen-thawed embryos demonstrates higher clinical consistency than in fresh embryos.

  • 4

    NICS based on SECM could potentially eliminate the need for invasive trophectoderm biopsies in genetic assessment.

  • 5

    The study highlights the importance of developing NICS techniques for frozen-thawed embryos to enhance assisted reproductive technology outcomes.
