PCOS女性辅助生殖中BMI与炎症标志物的双向中介效应研究
这是一项针对966名接受辅助生殖技术(ART)治疗的多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)女性的历史队列研究。研究评估了体重指数(BMI)与炎症标志物(中性粒细胞/淋巴细胞比值NLR、系统免疫炎症指数SII、血小板/淋巴细胞比值PLR)对ART结局的双向中介作用,发现较高BMI和炎症指数与较少获卵数和优质胚胎数相关,BMI与NLR存在双向相关通路。
要点
- 肥胖PCOS女性获卵数中位数为12.00个,显著低于体重不足者的14.50个(p<0.001)
- NLR中介了9.2%(95%CI:2.3%-20.0%)的BMI对优质胚胎数的影响
- BMI中介了26.6%(95%CI:13.3%-62.3%)的NLR对优质胚胎数的影响
核心结论
- PCOS女性中,较高BMI和外周炎症指数与获卵数减少、优质胚胎数减少相关
- BMI与NLR位于共同的双向相关通路上,其中BMI贡献的份额更大
- 本研究为探索性和假设生成性质,非验证性研究
研究设计与样本
- 历史队列研究,纳入966名接受ART治疗的PCOS女性
- 按BMI分为体重不足组(n=38)、正常体重组(n=547)、超重组(n=282)和肥胖组(n=99)
- 采用多变量回归、限制性立方样条和基于准贝叶斯方法的双向因果中介分析(1000次模拟)
- 单中心研究,来自南京医科大学附属南京妇幼保健院生殖医学科
主要发现
- 获卵数从体重不足组的14.50个(IQR 12.00-20.75)降至肥胖组的12.00个(IQR 9.00-16.00)(p<0.001)
- 优质胚胎数从体重不足组的4.00个(IQR 0.25-6.00)降至肥胖组的1.00个(IQR 0.00-3.50)(p<0.001)
- 所有炎症标志物与可用胚胎率均呈一致的负剂量-反应关系(均p<0.001)
- SII和PLR显示的中介效应极小(<5%)
关键数值与推荐
- NLR中介了BMI对优质胚胎数影响的9.2%(95%CI:2.3%-20.0%)
- BMI中介了NLR对优质胚胎数影响的26.6%(95%CI:13.3%-62.3%)
- BMI中介了NLR对可用胚胎影响的58.6%(95%CI:5.6%-528.4%)
临床怎么用
- PCOS女性接受ART治疗前应重视BMI管理,肥胖可能降低获卵数和优质胚胎数
- 外周血NLR可作为PCOS女性ART结局的潜在预测指标
- BMI和炎症状态可能通过双向通路影响生殖结局,控制体重可能部分改善炎症相关的不良结局
局限性
- 单中心历史队列研究,结论为探索性和假设生成性质
- 未说明因果关系的确切方向,需进一步验证性研究

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the bidirectional mediation effects of body mass index (BMI) and inflammatory markers (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio [NLR], systemic immune-inflammation index [SII], platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio [PLR]) on assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Design A historical cohort study. This analysis is exploratory and hypothesis-generating rather than confirmatory. Setting Department of Reproductive Medicine, Nanjing Women's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, China. Population A total of 966 women with PCOS undergoing ART, categorized by BMI: underweight (n = 38), normal weight (n = 547), overweight (n = 282), and obesity (n = 99). Methods Multivariable regression, restricted cubic splines, and bidirectional causal mediation analysis using the Quasi-Bayesian approach with 1000 simulations were performed. Main Outcome Measures Number of oocytes retrieved, high-quality embryos, available embryo rate, and clinical pregnancy outcomes. Results Oocytes retrieved decreased from 14.50 (IQR 12.00–20.75) in underweight to 12.00 (IQR 9.00–16.00) in obese women (p < 0.001). High-quality embryos declined from 4.00 (IQR 0.25–6.00) to 1.00 (IQR 0.00–3.50) across BMI categories (p < 0.001). All inflammatory markers showed consistent negative dose–response relationships with available embryo rate (all p < 0.001). NLR mediated 9.2% (95% CI: 2.3%–20.0%) of BMI's effect on high-quality embryos. BMI mediated 26.6% (95% CI: 13.3%–62.3%) of NLR's effect on high-quality embryos and 58.6% (95% CI: 5.6%–528.4%) on available embryos. SII and PLR showed minimal mediation effects (< 5%). Conclusions These findings are exploratory and hypothesis-generating. In this single-centre cohort of women with PCOS, higher BMI and higher peripheral inflammatory indices were associated with fewer oocytes retrieved and fewer high-quality embryos, and BMI and NLR appeared to lie on shared, bidirectionally related pathways, with the larger share attributable to BMI.
