    Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit of hysteroscopy (HS) before single frozen-thawed embryo transfer (sFET) on patients with previous implantation failure. Material and Methods: A total of 1352 infertile women with a previous implantation failure who underwent their first sFET treatment between January 2015 and December 2017 were included in this study. The patients were classified into two main groups in which HS was omitted (Group 1), and who underwent HS (Group 2). Furthermore, Group 2 was classified into two subgroups as patients without any intrauterine pathology (Group 2a), and those with intrauterine pathology (Group 2b). sFET was performed on all patients within 50 days of hysteroscopy. The major outcome measure was the clinical pregnancy rate. Results: The mean number of mature oocytes and fertilization rates were similar between groups. The clinical pregnancy rate was found to be 33.3% (n=70) in Group 1. Comparatively this rate was statistically significantly higher in patients in Group 2. The clinical pregnancy rate was 44.2% (n=378) in Group 2a, and 44.4% (n=127) in Group 2b (p=0.014). There was a significant difference between Group 1 and Group 2a (OR: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.15-2.17, p=0.004), and also Group 2b (OR: 1.59, 95% CI: 1.10-2.31, p=0.013). However, no significant difference was observed between Group 2a and Group 2b (p=0.896). Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that HS surgery increases the probability of pregnancy rate at least by 1.58 times in patients having previous implantation failure when the hysteroscopic procedure is followed by sFET.

    The Role of the Urine Dipstick Test in the Detection of Abnormal Proteinuria Using Different Cut-off Levels in Hypertensive Pregnancies
    (2022) Cetin, Caglar; Halici, Belfin Nur Arici; Kütük, Mehmet Serdar; Takmaz, Taha; Toprak, Ali; Gorchiyeva, Irana
    Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of different urine dipstick protein threshold levels in predicting the presence of abnormal proteinuria in pregnant women with hypertension.Material and Methods: A total of 326 singleton pregnant women who underwent 501 urine protein tests and who had suspected preeclampsia were included in this retrospective study. Patient data was taken including medical and obstetric history. The results of dipstick urinalysis and concurrent 24-hour urine protein excretion measurements were compared to determine the accuracy of urinalysis.Results: A dipstick result of 1+ was found to be the best cut-off to predict 500 mg of protein excretion per day, with sensitivity and specificity of 62.09% and 88.97%, respectively. A 2+ proteinuria dipstick cut-off had high specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) (99.05% and 98.84%, respectively) for the prediction of 300 mg of protein excretion per day; this cut-off had low sensitivity (21.46%). A cut-off of 1+ also provided satisfactory specificity and PPV (91.43% and 94.48%, respectively) for the detection of 300 mg of protein excretion per day, but sensitivity was compromised (38.89%). Among 301 patients with negative dipstick results, 212 had a 24-hour urine protein extraction greater than 300 mg, with a false negative rate of 70.43%.Conclusion: The results suggest that the urine protein dipstick measurement has limited quantitative ability for the prediction of abnormal proteinuria. Additionally, the use of 500 mg 24-hours protein excretion as a cut-off value for abnormal proteinuria may provide useful data.
