Chronic endometritis in patients with unexplained infertility: Prevalence and effects of antibiotic treatment on spontaneous conception
Abstract
Problem: The correlations between chronic endometritis and unexplained infertility are unexplored. Method of Study: We performed a retrospective study on consecutive patients referred to our hysteroscopy service due to unexplained infertility. All women underwent endometrial sampling with histological and cultural examinations. If chronic endometritis was diagnosed, patients received antibiotic therapy, and chronic endometritis resolution was subsequently ascertained by histological examination. We aimed to estimate chronic endometritis prevalence and the effects of antibiotic therapy on spontaneous conception during the year following hysteroscopy. Results: A total number of 95 women were included. Pooled prevalence of chronic endometritis was 56.8%. Antibiotic therapy resulted in chronic endometritis resolution in 82.3% of patients, while in 17.6% disease was persistent. Women with cured chronic endometritis showed higher pregnancy rate and live birth rate in comparison with both women with persistent disease and women without chronic endometritis diagnosis (pregnancy rate = 76.3% vs 20% vs 9.5%, P < .0001; live birth rate = 65.8% vs 6.6% vs 4.8%, P < .0001). Conclusion: Chronic endometritis is highly prevalent in patients with unexplained infertility. Diagnosis and treatment of chronic endometritis improve spontaneous pregnancy rate and live birth rate in such patients.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
