Effects of Intrauterine Infusion of G-CSF and HCG on Peripheral Blood Treg and Pregnancy Outcome in Patients with Thin Endometrium Undergoing Frozen-thawed Embryo Transfer

What Was Tested

Researchers studied hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in the context of endometriosis in this randomized controlled trial publication.

To investigate the effects of intrauterine perfusion of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) on regulatory T cells (Tregs) and pregnancy outcomes in patients with thin endometrium undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer.

Why It Was Studied

Patients with thin endometrium undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer often encounter challenges with pregnancy outcomes.

Who Took Part

According to the abstract, 150 patients were involved.

The age groups tagged for this paper are adults, women only.

150 patients with thin endometrium were randomly assigned to three groups: a control group that received no intervention, an HCG group, and a G-CSF group.

How the Study Was Run

In design terms this was a randomized study.

Random assignment meant chance, not the researchers, decided who got hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and who got the comparison, which limits bias.

What Was Measured

Patients with thin endometrium undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer often encounter challenges with pregnancy outcomes.
