Résumé
Previous studies revealed associations between air-pollutant exposure and in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. However, modification effects of air pollution on IVF outcomes by meteorological conditions remain elusive. This multicenter retrospective cohort study included 15,217 women from five northern Chinese cities during 2015-2020. Daily average concentrations of air pollutants (PM Positive associations of wind speed and sunshine duration with pregnancy outcomes were detected. In addition, we observed that embryo transfer in spring and summer had a higher likelihood to achieve a live birth compared with winter. Exposure to PM Our results suggested that the associations between air-pollutant exposure and IVF outcomes were modified by meteorological conditions, especially temperature and wind speed. Women undergoing IVF treatment should be advised to reduce outdoor time when the air quality was poor, particularly at lower temperatures.
