Abstract

Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) as an adjunct to in vitro fertilization (IVF). In other words, it delved into the influence of G-CSF on the Endometrium and the achievement of Pregnancy. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on a subgroup of women with two or more previously failed IVFs, who attended a fertility clinic in Johannesburg. These women underwent a procedure of transvaginal infusion of G-CSF in addition to their IVF protocol although endometrial thickness was not a criterion for G-CSF use. Results: The group included 49 women with a mean age of 38. 9 years (SD ± 6. 11). The mean number of previous IVFs was 3. 1 (SD ± 1. 76). The mean endometrial thickness pre-G-CSF and post-G-CSF was 7. 53 mm (SD ± 2. 69) and 9. 11 mm (SD ± 2. 12), respectively. The clinical Pregnancy rate was 34. 69%. Univariate analysis between the groups of women who achieved or failed to achieve Pregnancy showed that the age difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P = 0. 0005). Further, G-CSF use was associated with increased Pregnancy rates in younger women. Finally, although the mean endometrial thickness pre and post-G-CSF were not statistically significant between the two groups (P > 0. 05), the mean change in endometrial thickness was statistically significant in all women regardless of Pregnancy outcome (P = 0. 0029). Conclusions: In general, G-CSF is considered as a useful adjunct for the treatment of women with recurrent failed IVFs and aged less than 38 years. Based on the findings, a statistically significant overall expansion of endometrial thickness was reported by using G-CSF. However, it failed to show any association between endometrial expansion and Pregnancy outcome.
