Table 2. Summary of results of the ‘1000 mosaic embryo transfer’ study.

Columns indicate the measured clinical outcomes, and rows indicate the (sub-) category of result obtained with PGT-A. Low <50%; High ≥50%; Complex = more than 2 aberrant chromosomes.

Compared to the ‘Euploid’ group, the following mosaic groups had significantly lower likelihood of achieving ongoing pregnancy/birth per embryo transfer: ‘Mosaic All’, ‘Mosaic Whole Chromosome’, ‘Mosaic No Selection’, and ‘Mosaic No Knowledge’ (Chisquare, P<0.0001).

The indicated order of mosaic sub-groups is statistically significant (Cochran-Armitage test for trend, P<0.0001).

For each clinical outcome, the colored shading indicates the relative success rates of each (sub-) category, from best (white) to worst (red).
