Increasing the probability of selecting chromosomally normal embryos by time-lapse morphokinetics analysis

Objective To study the differences in the cleavage time between chromosomally normal and abnormal embryos and to elaborate an algorithm to increase the probability of noninvasively selecting chromosomally normal embryos. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting University-affiliated infertility center. Patient(s) Preimplantation genetic screening patients (n = 125; n=77 with ET), including cases of repeated implantation failure or recurrent miscarriage. A total of 504 embryos were analyzed. Intervention(s) Embryo culture within a time-lapse system. Main Outcome Measure(s) Kinetic variables included the time to 2 (t2), 3 (t3), 4 (t4), and 5 (t5) cells as well as the length of the second (c…
