ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To compare the euploidy rates among blastocysts created from sibling oocytes injected with sperm and processed using microfluidics or density gradient centrifugation.

DESIGN:

Sibling oocyte randomized controlled trial.

SETTING:

Single university-affiliated infertility practice. PATIENTS A total of 106 patients aged 18-42 years undergoing fresh in vitro fertilization treatment cycles with preimplantation genetic testing between January 2021 and April 2022 contributed 1,442 mature oocytes, which were injected with sperm and processed using microfluidics or density gradient centrifugation. INTERVENTION(S) The sperm sample is divided and processed using a microfluidics device and density gradient centrifugation for injection into sibling oocytes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) The primary outcome was the embryo euploidy rate. Secondary outcomes included fertilization, high-quality blastulation, and ongoing pregnancy rates. RESULT(S) The blastocyst euploidy rate per mature oocyte was not significantly different in the study group compared with the control group (22.9% vs. 20.5%). The blastocyst euploidy rate per biopsied embryo was also similar between the 2 groups (53.0% vs. 45.7%). However, the fertilization rate per mature oocyte injected was found to be significantly higher in the study group compared with the control group (76.0% vs. 69.9%). The high-quality blastulation rate per mature oocyte injected was similar between the 2 groups, as was the total number of embryos frozen. There were no differences in the number of participants with no blastocysts for biopsy or the number of participants with no euploid embryos between the 2 groups. Among the male factor infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss subgroups, there were no differences in euploidy rates, fertilization rates, blastulation rates, or total numbers of blastocysts frozen, although the study was underpowered to detect these differences. Seventy-seven patients underwent frozen embryo transfer; there were no significant differences in pregnancy outcomes between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION(S) Microfluidics processing did not improve embryo euploidy rates compared with density gradient centrifugation in this sibling oocyte study, although fertilization rates were significantly higher.
