Objective. To investigate the effectiveness of preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) in the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology programs in patients with recurrent miscarriage and infertility.
Subjects and methods. The prospective cohort study enrolled 196 women with infertility of different genesis, who had experienced 2 or more pregnancy losses in the first trimester of pregnancy. The patients were divided into groups according to the performance of PGS using array comparative genomic hybridization.
Results. Term delivery occurred in 35.4% of the patients undergoing PCS and in 17.0% of those who had not (OR for live births = 2.7; 95% CI = 1.3; 5.6).
Conclusion. In patients with recurrent miscarriage and infertility, IVF/PGS is a method to increase live birth rates, by selecting euploid embryos.
