Research has shown that different embryo transfer strategies in IVF\/ICSI can influence gestational outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of freeze-all embryo transfer (FET) versus fresh embryo transfer (ET) strategies in IVF\/ICSI cycles for infertile women with EMS and adenomyosis.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Chinese databases to identify studies examining different embryo transfer strategies in IVF\/ICSI cycles among patients with EMS and adenomyosis. The outcomes analyzed included rates of implantation, clinical pregnancy, miscarriage, and live birth. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using random-effects or fixed-effects models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In patients with EMS, the results demonstrated that the FET strategy yielded higher clinical pregnancy (OR: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.11, 1.40), live birth rates (OR: 1.31; 95% CI: 1.15, 1.49), and implantation rates (OR: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.05, 1.54) compared to the fresh ET strategy. The miscarriage rate (OR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.52, 1.52) and the ectopic pregnancy rate (OR: 0.51; 95% CI: 0.24, 1.07) were comparable between groups.
