Propensity score matching was performed at a ratio of 1:4 between EH and control patients following first frozen embryo transfer. Pregnancy, obstetric and neonatal outcomes were compared between matched pairs. Subgroup analysis was performed between EH patients with and without atypia. Binary logistic regression was conducted to identify risk factors for live birth among EH patients. The primary outcome was live birth rate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Compared with matched controls, patients with EH exhibited a significantly lower live birth rate (31.6% vs. 49.2%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      =\u00a00.002), reduced clinical pregnancy rate (44.2% vs. 59.2%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      =\u00a00.008), and higher pregnancy loss rate (40% vs. 26.1%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      =\u00a00.046). Subgroup analysis demonstrated a marginally lower live birth rate in EH patients with atypia compared with those without atypia. Furthermore, logistic regression analysis confirmed that EH with atypia, prolonged progesterone treatment and delayed remission associated with reduced likelihood of live birth.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Even after complete remission, EH remained associated with a reduced likelihood of live birth following FET.
