Effect of early rescue ICSI and split IVF‐ICSI in preventing low fertilization rate during the first ART cycle: A real‐world retrospective cohort study

Abstract Purpose To determine the utility of short gamete coincubation in in vitro fertilization (IVF‐S) combined with early rescue intracytoplasmic sperm injection (R‐ICSI) and split IVF‐ICSI in preventing low fertilization based on a retrospective cohort study. Methods Couples with a high risk of...

description Abstract Purpose To determine the utility of short gamete coincubation in in vitro fertilization (IVF‐S) combined with early rescue intracytoplasmic sperm injection (R‐ICSI) and split IVF‐ICSI in preventing low fertilization based on a retrospective cohort study. Methods Couples with a high risk of low IVF fertilization during the first ART cycle underwent IVF‐S with R‐ICSI or split IVF‐ICSI. Fertilization rate, embryo quality, and clinical outcomes were measured. Results After propensity score matching, we included 188 couples in the IVF‐S with R‐ICSI group as Group 1 and 720 in the split IVF‐ICSI group as Group 2. Normal fertilization rates were similar; however, Group 1 had a higher multiple pronuclei rate (10.42% vs. 4.50%, p < 0.001) but a higher embryo utilization rate (59.84% vs. 53.60%, p < 0.001). The groups were similar in the rates of high‐quality embryos, embryo implantation, clinical pregnancy, and live birth. Low IVF fertilization rate was 4.79% and 9.03% in Group 1 and Group 2, respectively, with similar fertilization rate and embryo development. Conclusion IVF‐S with early R‐ICSI and split IVF‐ICSI were effective strategies in preventing low fertilization rate. IVF‐S with early R‐ICSI could become the preferred approach because of its advantages—higher embryo utilization rate, fewer ICSI procedures, similar clinical pregnancy rate, and live birth rate.
