Lower pregnancy rate in women with high uterine peristalsis before embryo transfer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Uterine contractions, also known as peristalsis, have been shown to affect fertility. However, despite previous studies, most clinicians have not paid sufficient attention to uterine peristalsis. Recent studies have recognised its importance and evaluated contractility parameters prior to embryo transfer.

Method

A systematic literature search was conducted in Medline, Embase and Cochrane CENTRAL up to January 2024. Inclusion criteria were studies involving patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or other infertility treatments in which uterine contractility was assessed. Studies were excluded if they included therapeutic interventions that affected contractility, or if they focused on uterine pathologies such as adenomyosis or fibroids. The meta-analysis
