The primary outcome was live birth per ET cycle. Secondary outcomes included biochemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, ongoing pregnancy at 12 weeks, ectopic pregnancy, multiple pregnancy, endometrial-thickness response, triple-line endometrial pattern, conditional pregnancy progression, and delivery\/neonatal outcomes. Pregnancy outcomes were analyzed using unadjusted and adjusted comparisons and multivariable models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The PRP and control groups were similar in age, BMI, baseline endometrial thickness, endocrine parameters, frozen ET status, ICSI use, and single-embryo transfer. PRP-treated cycles had more prior IVF\/ICSI cycles, clinician-recorded recurrent implantation failure, history of cavity-distorting fibroid, and history of hydrosalpinx. Baseline and pre-procedure endometrial thickness were similar between groups, but post-procedure endometrial thickness, ET-day endometrial thickness, and triple-line pattern were more favorable in the PRP group. In unadjusted analyses, PRP was associated with higher clinical pregnancy, ongoing pregnancy at 12 weeks, and live birth. Live birth occurred in 82\/310 PRP cycles (26.5%) and 53\/310 control cycles (17.1%) (risk ratio [RR], 1.55; 95% CI, 1.14\u20132.10; P\u00a0=\u00a00.005). After multivariable adjustment, PRP remained associated with live birth (adjusted RR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.12\u20132.15; P\u00a0=\u00a00.009). Sensitivity analyses were directionally consistent.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n
