Assisted hatching (AH) improves pregnancy and implantation rates for women with poor IVF prognosis, especially older women. Laser-assisted hatching appears most effective, but more research is needed on take-home baby rates.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

Background:

  • Assisted hatching (AH) is a technique used in assisted reproductive technology.
  • It is proposed to enhance implantation rates in patients with diminished prognosis for pregnancy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review randomized controlled trials on assisted hatching.
  • To assess the primary outcomes of clinical pregnancy and embryo implantation.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
  • Analysis of primary outcomes: clinical pregnancy and embryo implantation rates.

Main Results:

  • Assisted hatching significantly increases pregnancy and implantation rates.
  • Laser-assisted hatching is identified as a potentially superior technique.

  • Benefits are particularly noted in older women undergoing IVF or ICSI with poor prognosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Assisted hatching offers significant benefits for specific patient groups undergoing IVF/ICSI.
    • Laser technology may represent the optimal AH method.
    • Further RCTs are necessary to validate effects on live birth rates and compare AH techniques.
