- W4386592086 abstract "Abstract STUDY QUESTION What are the effects of male anxiety and depression on IVF outcomes? SUMMARY ANSWER Men with anxiety had lower final total motile sperm counts (fTMSC) during IVF compared to men without anxiety; however, there were no differences in live birth rates (LBRs). WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Studies have shown that male anxiety causes low sperm motility, worse sperm morphology, and increased DNA fragmentation, which are known to be influential factors on fertilization rates and embryo quality during IVF. However, data are lacking on whether there is a direct association between male anxiety and/or depression and IVF outcomes. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION This was a survey-based, retrospective cohort study completed at a single, large hospital-affiliated fertility center with 222 respondents who underwent IVF with or without ICSI. The study was conducted between 6 September 2018 and 27 December 2022. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Male partners of couples who underwent IVF or IVF/ICSI completed a Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire. They were separated into two groups for both anxiety (HADS-A ≥ 8 or HADS-A < 8) and depression (HADS-D ≥ 8 or HADS-D < 8). Men with an elevated HADS-A or HADS-D score ≥8 were considered to have anxiety or depression, respectively. The primary outcome was LBR. Secondary outcomes included semen parameters at the time of IVF, cycle outcomes, pregnancy outcomes, and prevalence of erectile dysfunction and low libido. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE There were a total of 222 respondents, of whom 22.5% had a HADS-A ≥ 8 and 6.5% had a HADS-D ≥ 8. The average age of respondents was 37.38 ± 4.90 years old. Antidepressant use was higher in the respondents with a HADS-A or HADS-D ≥ 8 (P < 0.05). Smoking use was similar between groups for both HADS-A and HADS-D (P > 0.05). When adjusted for male BMI, antidepressant use and smoking, men with a HADS-A or HADS-D ≥ 8 had similar rates of erectile dysfunction (adjusted relative risk (aRR) = 1.12 (95% CI 0.60, 2.06)) and low libido (aRR = 1.70 (95% CI 0.91, 3.15)) compared to those with a HADS-A or HADS-D ≤ 8. Men with a HADS-A ≥ 8 were more likely to have a lower fTMSC on the day of oocyte retrieval (11.8 ≥ 8 vs 20.1 < 8, adjusted ß = −0.66 (95% CI −1.22, −0.10)). However, the LBR per embryo transfer (ET) was similar between the HADS-A groups (43.2% ≥8 vs 45.1% <8, adjusted relative risk = 0.90 (95% CI 0.65, 1.06)). Although depression was uncommon in the entire cohort, the HADS-D groups were clinically similar for fTMSC (18.7 ≥ 8 vs 16.0 < 8) and LBR per ET (46.7% ≥8 vs 45.4% <8). LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION Limitations of our study are the survey-based design, the lack of sperm morphology assessment at the time of IVF, our inability to fully assess the HADS-D ≥ 8 cohort due to the small sample size and the large Caucasian demographic. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Couples undergoing IVF have an increased likelihood of suffering from anxiety and/or depression. There is currently a debate on whether or not men should be treated with antidepressants while attempting to conceive due to potential detrimental effects on sperm quality. Our study shows that, regardless of antidepressant use, couples with men who did or did not report anxiety and/or depression have similar LBRs when undergoing IVF. Therefore, it is important to assess both partners for mental health and to not withhold treatment due to a concern about a potential impact of antidepressants or anxiety/depression on sperm quality.
