Endometrial scratch injury for women with one or more previous failed embryo transfers: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials - Fertility and SterilityDOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fertnstert.2018.04.040 Abstract: To investigate endometrial scratch injury (ESI) as an intervention to improve IVF outcome in women with a history of ET failure. Systematic review and meta-analysis. Not applicable. Infertile women undergoing IVF after one or more failed ET. We included all randomized controlled trials of women undergoing IVF after one or more failed ET, where the intervention group received ESI and controls received placebo or no intervention. Pooled results were expressed as relative risk (RR) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI). The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO before starting the data extraction (CRD42017082777). Live birth rate (LBR), clinical pregnancy rate (PR), multiple PR, miscarriage rate, ectopic pregnancy (EP) PR. Ten studies were included (1,468 participants). The intervention group showed higher LBR (RR 1.38, 95% CI 1.05–1.80) and clinical PR (RR 1.34, 95% CI 1.07–1.67) in comparison to controls, without difference in terms of multiple PR, miscarriage rate, and EP PR. Double luteal ESI with pipelle was associated with the greatest effect on LBR (RR 1.54, 95% CI 1.10–2.16) and clinical PR (RR 1.30, 95% CI 1.03–1.65). The ESI was beneficial for patients with two or more previous ET failure, but not for women with a single previous failed ET. No effect was found in women undergoing frozen-thawed ET cycles. The ESI may improve IVF success in patients with two or more previous ET failures undergoing fresh ET. The ESI timing and technique seem to play a crucial role in determining its effect on embryo implantation. Lesión por rascado endometrial para mujeres con uno o más fracasos previos en transferencias de embriones: Una revisión sistemática y meta-análisis de los estudios controlados aleatorizados Investigar la lesión por rascado endometrial (ESI) como una intervención para mejorar el resultado de FIV en mujeres con historia de fracaso en transferencias de embriones. Revisión sistemática y meta-análisis. No aplica. Mujeres estériles sometidas a FIV después de uno o más fracasos previos en transferencias de embriones. Se incluyen todos los estudios controlados aleatorizados de mujeres sometidas a FIV después de uno o más fracasos en transferencias de embriones, donde al grupo con intervención se le practicó ESI y los controles recibieron placebo o ninguna intervención. Los resultados agrupados se expresaron como riesgo relativo (RR) con un intervalo de confianza del 95% (95% CI). El protocolo de revisión fue registrado en PROSPERO antes de iniciar la extracción de los datos (CRD42017082777). Tasa de nacido vivo (LBR), tasa de gestación
