New device for sperm preparation involving migration-gravity sedimentation without centrifugation compared with density-gradient centrifugation for normozoospermic intrauterine insemination.


ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the efficacy of a new device for sperm preparation involving migration-gravity sedimentation without centrifugation (MIGLIS), compared with density-gradient centrifugation (DGC) for normozoospermic intrauterine insemination (IUI).

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting

Not applicable.

Patients

A total of 10,318 cases of IUI (3,015 MIGLIS and 7,303 DGC) between October 2013 and September 2019.

Interventions

None.

Main outcome measures

Sperm analysis, subsequent pregnancy outcomes, and complications.

Results

MIGLIS was associated with a lower sperm recovery rate and fewer injected sperm compared with DGC. However, the overall pregnancy rates following MIGLIS and DGC were similar (MIGLIS 8.8%, DGC 9.3%). In a subanalysis according to age, the pregnancy rate was higher for MIGLIS among women 40-41 years of age (8.6% vs. 5.9%). Peritonitis was the only recorded complication, with similar frequencies in the MIGLIS and DGC groups (MIGLIS two cases, DGC four cases). No cases became severe, and all improved after antibiotic treatment. There were no cases of uterine cramping or pain symptoms.

Conclusions

MIGLIS is a new sperm preparation method that does not require centrifugation. Its use was associated with pregnancy rates similar to those with DGC and a higher pregnancy rate in older women. MIGLIS is a novel sperm preparation method for selecting spermatozoa with high motility and good fertilization ability in patients undergoing IUI, in vitro fertilization, and intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
