However, after pooling of ORs adjusted for the possible confounding variables, the endometrial preparation by HRT maintained a significant association in all sub-analyses exclusively with HDP, PE, PPH (low quality) and CS (very low quality).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The principal limitation concerns the heterogeneity across studies in: (i) timing and dosage of HRT; (ii) embryo stage at transfer; and (iii) inclusion of preimplantation genetic testing cycles. To address it, we undertook subgroup analyses by pooling only ORs adjusted for a specific possible confounding factor.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Endometrial preparation protocols with HRT were associated with worse obstetric and perinatal outcomes. However, because of the methodological weaknesses, recommendations for clinical practice cannot be made. Well conducted prospective studies are thus warranted to establish a safe endometrial preparation strategy for FET cycles aimed at limiting superimposed risks in women with an \u2018a priori\u2019 high-risk profile for obstetric and perinatal complications.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>STUDY FUNDING\/COMPETING INTEREST(S)<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>None.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>REGISTRATION NUMBER<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>CRD42021249927.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/deac073","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,14]],"date-time":"2022-04-14T11:15:09Z","timestamp":1649934909000},"page":"1619-1641","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":113,"title":["Obstetric and perinatal outcomes following programmed compared to natural frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles: a systematic review and meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9870-5241","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Busnelli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences, Humanitas University , Pieve Emanuele\u2014Milan, Italy"},{"name":"Division of Gynecology and Reproductive Medicine, Department of Gynecology, Fertility Center, IRCCS Humanitas Research Hospital , Rozzano\u2014Milan, Italy"}]},{"given":"Irene","family":"Schirripa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences, Humanitas University , Pieve Emanuele\u2014Milan, Italy"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Fedele","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences and Community Health, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano , Milan, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico , Milan, Italy"}]},{"given":"Alessandro","family":"Bulfoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Humanitas S.
