- Abstract: Objective To explore the correlation between the characteristics of the endometrial microbiome in patients with recurrent implantation failure(RIF)and the subsequent transplantation outcomes.Methods A total of 438 RIF patients underwent embryo transfer again in our hospital were retrospective selection.According to the pregnancy status of the patients 8 weeks after embryo transfer,patients were divided into the pregnancy group(n=85)and the non-pregnancy group(n=353).The clinical data,characteristics and composition diversity of the endometrial microbiome were compared between the two groups.Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)was employed to predict the efficacy of the influencing factors.The interaction between the above-mentioned risk factors and Shannon index in the subsequent transplantation outcomes of RIF patients was further analyzed.Results The levels of basal estradiol(E2),fasting insulin(Fins),total cholesterol(TC)and triglycerides(TG)were significantly higher in the non-pregnant group than those in the pregnant group(P＜0.05).Meanwhile,there were significant differences in the composition of endometrial microorganisms between the two groups(P＜0.05).Among them,the abundance of Fusobacterium phylum,the abundance of Bacillus genus and the α-diversity(Chao1,Shannon,Simpson)index all showed significant differences(all P＜0.05).Binary Logistic regression multivariate analysis showed that the abundance of Fusobacterium phylum increased(OR=1.628,95%CI:1.416-1.841),the abundance of Bacillus genus decreased(OR=0.725,95%CI:0.557-0.934)and E2 increased(OR=1.654,95%CI:1.343-1.965).The elevated insulin(OR=1.691,95%CI:1.393-1.980)and decreased Shannon index(OR=0.388,95%CI:0.075-0.697)were independent risk factors for failure after subsequent transplantation.ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of the Shannon index was 0.836(95%CI:0.782-0.890),with the highest predictive efficacy.There was significant interaction among the subgroups of Fusobacteria,Bacillus genus,E2 and insulin in Shannon index on the subsequent transplantation outcomes of patients with RIF.Conclusion The independent risk factors for subsequent transplantation failure in RIF patients can be used as sensitive indicators to predict the subsequent transplantation outcomes of RIF patients,and Shannon index has a higher clinical predictive value.
