The baseline and cycle characteristics between the two groups were similar. The proportion of cycles which obtained euploid blastocysts was significantly higher in the GH group than that in the control group (41.43% vs. 27.21%, P = 0.00). The GH group had a significantly higher euploid blastocyst rate per cohort (32.47% vs. 21.34%, P = 0.00) and mean euploid blastocyst rate per cycle (per biopsy cycle 0.35 ± 0.40 vs. 0.21 ± 0.33, P = 0.00; per OS cycle 0.27 ± 0.38 vs. 0.16 ± 0.30, P = 0.02). However, the benefit of GH was more significant in patients aged 38–40 years, but not significant in patients aged 41–46 years. Pregnancy outcomes were similar between the two groups after embryo transfer.
