Although embryo quality and endometrial receptivity (ER) have been fully assessed to exclude substandard\u00a0conditions, the probability of successful ET is relatively low. Currently, embryo-endometrial synchrony is considered to be a possible explanation, because delayed, advanced, or narrowed window of implantation (WOI) may lead to ET failure.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aims to establish a nomogram incorporating a series of ultrasonic ER markers on the day before implantation to assess the embryo-endometrial synchrony, which may contribute to the improvement of clinical pregnancy outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Totally 583 women with 1135 complete IVF cycles were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 357 women with 698 cycles and 226 women with 437 cycles were assigned to the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Ultrasonic ER markers obtained on the day before implantation were collected for analyses. In the training cohort, the screened correlates of clinical pregnancy failure were utilized to develop a nomogram for determining whether an infertile woman is suitable for the ET next day. This model was validated both in the training and validation cohorts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Spiral artery (SA) resistance index (RI), vascularisation\u00a0index (VI), and flow\u00a0index (FI) were independently associated with the ET failure (all\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.05).
