It is controversial whether the freeze-all strategy is better than fresh embryo transfer (ET) in women with adenomyosis. Women with adenomyosis were enrolled in this retrospective study from January 2018 to December 2021 and were divided into two groups: freeze-all (n = 98) and fresh ET (n = 91). Data analysis showed that freeze-all ET was associated with a lower rate of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) compared with fresh ET (1.0% vs. 6.6%, p = 0.042; adjusted OR 0.17 (0.01\u20132.50), p = 0.194). Freeze-all ET also had a lower risk of low birth weight compared with fresh ET (1.1% vs. 7.0%, p = 0.049; adjusted OR 0.54 (0.04\u20137.47), p = 0.642). There was a nonsignificant trend toward a lower miscarriage rate in freeze-all ET (8.9% vs. 11.6%; p = 0.549). The live birth rate was comparable in the two groups (19.1% vs. 27.1%; p = 0.212). The freeze-all ET strategy does not improve pregnancy outcomes for all patients with adenomyosis and may be more appropriate for certain patients. Further large-scale prospective studies are needed to confirm this result.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12051740","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,22]],"date-time":"2023-02-22T01:39:47Z","timestamp":1677029987000},"page":"1740","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Pregnancy Outcomes of Freeze-All versus Fresh Embryo Transfer in Women with Adenomyosis: A Retrospective Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Qiaoli","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Reproductive Medicine, Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, 251 Yaojiayuan Road, Beijing 100026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qiaoyuan","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Reproductive Medicine, Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, 251 Yaojiayuan Road, Beijing 100026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tianhe","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Laboratory, Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, 251 Yaojiayuan Road, Beijing 100026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhaoxia","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information and Statistics, Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, 251 Yaojiayuan Road, Beijing 100026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaomeng","family":"Bu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Reproductive Medicine, Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, 251 Yaojiayuan Road, Beijing 100026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanjun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Reproductive Medicine, Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, 251 Yaojiayuan Road, Beijing 100026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuyu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Reproductive Medicine, Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, 251 Yaojiayuan Road, Beijing 100026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Reproductive Medicine, Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, 251 Yaojiayuan Road, Beijing 100026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"48","DOI":"10.1186\/s13244-019-0732-8","article-title":"Management of uterine adenomyosis: Current trends and uterine artery embolization as a potential alternative to hysterectomy","volume":"10","author":"Dessouky","year":"2019","journal-title":"Insights Imaging"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"483","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2017.06.025","article-title":"Effects of adenomyosis on in vitro fertilization treatment outcomes: A meta-analysis","volume":"108","author":"Younes","year":"2017","journal-title":"Fertil.
