    Journal Article

    Background and Aims: Cesarean delivery (CD) rates continue to rise worldwide. Prior studies have indicated that CD is associated with not only various gynaecological symptoms and obstetric complications but also lower probability of subsequent fertility. However, the recognition about impact of CD on clinical outcomes in subsequent IVF/ICSI-FET is very limited. The purpose was to investigate the effects of previous CD on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in single frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles so that women with a previous cesarean delivery can be given detailed fertility counseling during the ART process. Methods: This is a large retrospective cohort study including a total of 5,750 patients who desired to transfer single vitrified-thawed blastocyst from the same oocyte retrieval cycle as their last live birth between January 2011 and January 2021 in a center for reproductive medicine in Shandong, China, comprising FET cycles of 3,853 previous single CD and 1,897 previous single vaginal delivery (VD). Results: Women with a previous CD had significantly lower rates of biochemical pregnancy (64.52% vs. 71.48% before propensity score matching (PSM), P<0.001; and 65.58% vs. 71.49% after PSM, P<0.001), clinical pregnancy (58.16% vs. 65.79% before PSM, P<0.001; and 59.22% vs. 66.17% after PSM, P<0.001) and live birth (48.17% vs. 55.82% before PSM, P<0.001; and 49.29% vs. 56.10% after PSM, P<0.001) than those with a previous VD. Meanwhile, the CD rate was significantly higher in the CD group (97.85% vs. 18.53% before PSM, P<0.001; and 98.02% vs. 20.51% after PSM, P<0.001). The rates of multiple pregnancy, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, multiple live birth, labor complications and preterm and neonatal outcomes were comparable between the two groups. Conclusion: Compared to VD, a previous CD is associated with a significant reduction in the rates of biochemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy and live birth in patients undergoing subsequent single frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer.
