Many series were small and overall, predictors of pregnancy were not all included and analyzed by multivariate analysis. We conducted this study to evaluate the factors associated with pregnancy during the first two in vitro fertilization (IVF) attempts in infertile women with posterior deep endometriosis. METHODS: 230 women were included in this retrospective observational study, between January 1st, 2007 and September 30th, 2013, at the University Hospital of Lille. A large set of variables were recorded and their association with the chance of pregnancy was analyzed by multivariate analysis (MVA), including patients' features, endometriosis items, surgery procedures and IVF data. RESULTS: After 2 IVF attempts, 48.7% of the 230 women achieved a pregnancy, including 39.1% of ongoing pregnancies. Logistic regression analysis retained five variables significantly associated to the chance of pregnancy: oocyte retrieval number (OR=0.468 (0.296-0.739) p=0.001), age (OR=0.888 (0.811-0.974) p=0.011), single embryo transfer number (OR=1.494 (1.036-2.153) p=0.031), presence of a recto-uterine nodule (OR=0.454 (0.235-0.877) p=0.019) and IVF technique (OR=0.509 (0.272-0.951) p=0.034). CONCLUSIONS: The presence of a recto uterine nodule is associated with a lower chance of pregnancy after IVF. It has to be checked by prospective studies whether the finding of a recto-uterine nodule whose pejorative effect has not been reported so far should encourage to perform surgery before IVF in patients with deep endometriosis.Show less >
