Mediterranean diet improves blastocyst formation in women previously infected COVID-19: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Our study tries to investigate the effect of the Mediterranean diet (MeDiet) on assisted reproductive treatment outcomes in women after COVID-19 infection.

Design

A prospective observational cohort study in the Reproductive and Genetic Hospital of CITIC-Xiangya from February 2023 to August 2023.Subjects: A total of 605 participants previously infected with COVID-19 were enrolled.

Exposure

None.

Main outcome measurement

The primary outcomes are oocyte and embryo quality. The secondary outcomes are pregnancy outcomes.

Results

A majority of participants (n = 517) followed low to moderate MeDiet, and only a small group of them (n = 88) followed high MeDiet. The blastocyst formation rate is significantly higher in MeDiet scored 8-14 p
