Patients were divided into two groups according to whether they received PRP intrauterine perfusion before embryo transfer in FET cycles. 138 women were in the PRP group, 150 women were in the control group. The primary outcome measure was live birth rates and the secondary outcome were clinical pregnancy, positive \u03b2 hCG, miscarriage and implantation rates.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>No significant differences in baseline demographic and clinical characteristics were observed between the two groups. Overall, significantly more women in the PRP group than in the control group achieved a live birth rate (41 women; 29.71% vs. 27 women; 18%) and a clinical pregnancy (50 women; 36.23% vs. 37 women; 24.67%). The PRP group had a higher implantation rate and lower spontaneous miscarriage rate than the control group, but these differences were not statistically significant.
