Purpose: To determine if blastocyst trophectoderm biopsy for PGT-A is associated with an increased rate of live birth per embryo in good prognosis IVF patients at a single center.Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of good prognosis embryo transfer cycles at a single center from 1/1/2017 to 12/31/2019. We evaluated the rate of live birth per embryo with and without PGT-A for transfer of embryos in two groups of good prognosis patients: embryos from donor oocytes and embryos from autologous oocytes with maternal age less than 35 years at oocyte retrieval. Two-sided Fisher's exact tests were used for comparisons between groups.Results: After transfer of embryos created from donor oocytes the live birth rate per euploid embryo was 70.6% (24/34) compared to 34.3% (35/102) for untested embryos for a rate difference of 36.3% (95% CI 18.4-54.1%, p < 0.01). After transfer of embryos created from autologous oocytes with maternal age less than 35 years at oocyte retrieval the live birth rate per euploid embryo was 70.0% (49/70) compared to 52.5% (53/101) for untested embryos for a rate difference of 17.5% (95% CI 3.0-32.0%, p = 0.03).Conclusions: In good prognosis patients at our center the live birth rate per euploid blastocyst was higher than for untested blastocysts.
