Cleavage and Blastulation01:33

Cleavage and Blastulation

45.3K
After a large-single-celled zygote is produced via fertilization, the process of cleavage occurs while zygotes travel through the uterine tube. Cleavage is a mitotic cell division that does not result in growth. With each round of successive cell division, daughter cells get increasingly smaller.

Area of Science:

  • Embryology
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Manual assessment of cleavage-stage embryos is crucial for assisted reproductive technology (ART) success.
  • Evaluating embryo cell number and fragmentation is a standard morphological assessment.
  • Objective, automated evaluation methods are needed to complement subjective manual scoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the correlation between manual assessment of embryo cell number and fragmentation and the iDAScore v2.0 deep learning algorithm.
  • To evaluate the predictive value of iDAScore v2.0 for live birth outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective observational study analyzed 5040 embryos from 1786 ART treatments.
  • Embryo evaluation by iDAScore v2.0 was compared with manual scoring of cell number and fragmentation.
  • Data from fresh single embryo transfers on days 2 and 3 post-fertilization were used.

Main Results:

  • iDAScore v2.0 significantly correlated with manual assessments of cell number and fragmentation (P < 0.001).
  • Lower cell numbers and higher fragmentation correlated with lower iDAScore values.
  • iDAScore demonstrated a predictive value for live birth, comparable to traditional morphological assessment (AUC 0.607-0.627).

Conclusions:

  • The iDAScore v2.0 deep learning model shows significant correlation with manual evaluation of cleavage-stage embryos.
  • iDAScore v2.0 offers a valuable, objective tool for embryo assessment in ART.
  • The algorithm has potential predictive value for live birth when integrated with morphological assessment.
