The study objectives were to compare different endometrial preparation protocols of FET cycles and to evaluate the factors, including the endometrial thickness (ET), that affect outcomes. Methods: This observational cohort study involved 5037 women undergoing FETs at eight tertiary clinics in the UK between January 2016 and March 2019. The endometrial preparation protocols used were natural cycle (NC-FETs), artificial hormone support cycle with oestradiol valerate but without pituitary downregulation (AC-FETs) and artificial hormone support cycle with agonist downregulation (ACDR-FETs). Results: The mean (\u00b1SD) ages across NC-FET, AC-FET and ACDR-FET groups were 36.5 (\u00b14.2), 35.9 (\u00b15.0) and 36.4(\u00b14.9) years, respectively. LBRs were comparable (40.7%, 175\/430; 36.8%, 986\/2658; and 36.7%, 716\/1949, respectively) across the three groups. Clinical pregnancy, implantation, multiple pregnancies, miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy rates were also similar. In the regression analysis of variables including age, duration of infertility, number of embryos transferred, protocol type and endometrial thickness, age was the only significant predictor of LBRs, although its predictive ability was poor (AUC: 0.55). With the overall LBR of the study population being 37.1%, the post-test probability of a live birth at an ET of &lt;5 mm was 0%, and at 5\u20135.9, 6\u20136.9, 7\u20137.9 and 8\u20138.9 mm, the probabilities were 16.7%, 33.8%, 36.7% and 37.7%, respectively. The LBR remained above 35% up to the 14\u201314.9 mm range and then declined gradually to 23% for the 17\u201325 mm range. Conclusions: The FET outcomes were similar for the three protocols used for endometrial preparation. The protocol type and endometrial thickness were not predictive of FET outcomes; age was the only predictive variable, despite its low predictive ability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11030737","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,29]],"date-time":"2022-01-29T23:02:06Z","timestamp":1643497326000},"page":"737","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Frozen Blastocyst Embryo Transfer: Comparison of Protocols and Factors Influencing Outcome"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1259-9308","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aikaterini","family":"Eleftheriadou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2RD, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abraham","family":"Francis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CARE Fertility, Nottingham NG8 6PZ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Wilcox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CARE Fertility, Nottingham NG8 6PZ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1466-9376","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kanna","family":"Jayaprakasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2RD, UK"},{"name":"CARE Fertility, Nottingham NG8 6PZ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Human Fertilisation & Embryology Authority (2020, November 10).
