A uterine biophysical profile (UBP) score of 17 or higher in a spontaneous cycle shows a strong association with pregnancy in women with unexplained infertility. Lower scores indicated no chance of conception.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive endocrinology and infertility research.
  • Diagnostic imaging in obstetrics and gynecology.

Background:

  • Unexplained infertility affects numerous women, necessitating improved diagnostic tools.
  • The uterine biophysical profile (UBP) is a potential indicator of uterine receptivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the utility of UBP scoring for predicting pregnancy chances in spontaneous cycles among women with unexplained infertility.
  • To correlate UBP scores with conception rates.

Main Methods:

  • An observational study was conducted involving 26 women with unexplained infertility.
  • The uterine scoring system for reproduction (USSR) was used to determine UBP.
  • Pregnancy frequency was analyzed against UBP scores (target score ≥17).

Main Results:

  • A UBP score of 17 or above was observed in 6 patients, resulting in a 66.6% conception rate.
  • Patients with scores of 15 or less (n=20) did not conceive (p=0.001).
  • No significant correlation was found with individual UBP variables, and myometrial contraction was challenging to assess.

Conclusions:

  • A uterine biophysical profile score of 17 or higher is significantly associated with pregnancy in spontaneous cycles.
  • UBP shows promise as a predictive tool for fertility in unexplained infertility cases.
  • Further research with larger cohorts is warranted to validate these findings.
