Abstract After more than a decade of increasingly widespread clinical use, personalized embryo transfer guided by endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA) remains controversial and unproven. One key element missing from the historical literature is recognition that potential benefits are entirely dependent on accuracy predictive value ERA test. Results first comprehensive trial, designed in way allowed independent evaluation both test upon which it based, were recently published. However, authors failed to conduct an appropriate or recognize significance their results. Here, we present simple reanalysis data this otherwise excellent randomized controlled demonstrating for time was unable identify window implantation as purported that, result, based actually reduced rather increased birth rates. Based these results lack any contradictory evidence, our opinion all use ERA-guided should be discontinued immediately, outside experimental setting with informed consent participating patients.

Introduction Embryo implantation requires synchronous communication between the embryo and maternal endometrium. Inadequate endometrial receptivity is one of principal causes for failure [especially repeated (RIF)] when biopsied good-quality euploid embryos are transferred. An RNA-seq-based test (rsERT) was previously established to precisely guide successful implantation. In this study, we aimed evaluate effect personalized transfer (pET) via rsERT on clinical outcomes in patients with RIF. Methods A total 155 RIF were included present retrospective study divided into two groups: 60 who underwent pET (Group rsERT) 95 standard frozen (FET) without FET). Reproductive compared rsERT-guided FET. Results Forty percent (24/60) receptive, remaining 60% (36/60) non-receptive. The positive human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) rate (56.3% vs. 30.5%, P = 0.003) pregnancy (43.8% 24.2%, 0.017) significantly higher Group than FET group patients. Additionally, also showed a (32.1% 22.1%, 0.104) live birth (35.4% 21.1%, 0.064) patients, although significance. For subpopulation analysis, β-hCG rate, receptive not statistically significant different from those non-receptive Conclusions can improve indicating potential pET.

Embryo transfer is a pivotal procedure in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Yet, the success of this process hinges on multiple factors, with endometrial receptivity playing critical role determining likelihood successful implantation. The array (ERA) an advanced diagnostic tool designed to personalize embryo timing by assessing endometrium's receptivity. This review comprehensively examines ERA, exploring its biological foundation, technological development, and clinical applications. ERA's ability analyze expression genes associated offers tailored approach identifying optimal window implantation (WOI), particularly benefiting patients recurrent failure (RIF) or repeated unsuccessful vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. Clinical outcomes from ERA-guided transfers indicate improvements rates overall pregnancy success, although challenges such as result variability cost-effectiveness persist. also discusses latest advancements ERA technology, including integrating genomic transcriptomic analyses, non-invasive techniques, using artificial intelligence (AI). Controversies regarding widespread application necessity all IVF cases are critically examined.
