The Effect of Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor Versus Human Chorionic Gonadotropin in Females With a History of RIF

October 22, 2020 updated by: Elsayed Eldesouky, Al-Azhar University

Comparative Study Between Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin in Patients With History of Recurrent Implantation Failure in Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (at Ovum Pick up Day)

One hundred patients who suffered from recurrent implantation failure in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) were allocated in the study. On ovum pick-up day, 50 of them were intrauterine injected with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and the other 50 were injected with intrauterine Human Chorionic Gonadotropins (HCG). The clinical pregnancy rate was evaluated as a primary outcome and ultrasound imaging of the gestational sac was evaluated as a secondary outcome

Study Overview

Detailed Description

One hundred patients suffering from recurrent implantation failure in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) were included in the study. The patients were randomly allocated into two groups. The intervention group consisted of 50 patients who received intrauterine injected with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). The other group (the control group) consisted of 50 patients and injected with intrauterine Human Chorionic Gonadotropins (HCG). Both groups received the interventions at ovum pick-up day. The main outcome was the clinical pregnancy rate which has been evaluated after 2 weeks of the positive pregnancy test. The secondary outcome was an ultrasound image of the gestational sac after 6 weeks of pregnancy.
