BACKGROUND: 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.
METHODS: This multicenter retrospective cohort study included 15,217 women from five northern Chinese cities during 2015-2020. Daily average concentrations of air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, O3, NO2, SO2, and CO) and meteorological factors (temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and sunshine duration) during different exposure windows were calculated as individual approximate exposure. Generalized estimating equations models and stratified analyses were conducted to assess the associations of air pollution and meteorological conditions with IVF outcomes and estimate potential interactions.
RESULTS: 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 PM2.5, SO2, and O3 was adversely correlated with pregnancy outcomes in fresh IVF cycles, and the associations were modified by air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed. The inverse associations of PM2.5 and SO2 exposure with biochemical pregnancy were stronger at lower temperatures and humidity. Negative associations of PM2.5 with clinical pregnancy were only significant at lower temperatures and wind speeds. Moreover, the effects of O3 on live birth were enhanced by higher wind speed.
CONCLUSIONS: 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.
