RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to review recent data that affected the clinical management of infertility associated with endometriosis. DATA SOURCES: We completed a PubMed review of all articles that included the following keywords: endometriosis, infertility, IVF, and ART. STUDY SELECTION: A study was selected based on the pertinence of the topic addressed in relation to the study's set objectives. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: All identified articles were first assessed based on a review of the abstract. Pertinent articles were reviewed in depth. CONCLUSION: Endometriosis interferes with natural conception primarily by altering the quality of gametes-oocytes and sperm-and early-stage embryos. On the contrary, recent data indicate that gametes and early-stage embryos are not altered in the case of ART. Surgery-a classical approach in yesteryears-does appear to improve ART outcomes and may affect ovarian reserve and the number of oocytes retrieved in ART. Surgery is thus more rarely opted for today and only when necessary; proceeding to fertility preservation prior to surgery is recommended. When ART is performed in women with endometriosis, it is recommended to use an antagonist or progesterone-primed ovarian stimulation approach followed by deferred embryo transfer. In this case, GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone) agonist is preferred for triggering ovulation, as it limits the risk of cyst formation as well as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Frozen embryo transfers are best performed in E2 (estradiol) and progesterone replacement cycle.

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the major public health problems globally as well as in Cambodia. Continuous information on HBV infection burden is required to implement effective disease control strategies. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and genotype distribution of HBV infection in Cambodia through a systematic review with meta-analysis. METHODS: Four databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar) were used to search published studies reporting either HBV prevalence or genotype distribution in Cambodia until August 21, 2020. Reviews, modeling studies, and studies conducted among Cambodian permanently living abroad were excluded. The Freeman-Tukey double arcsine transformation was implemented to achieve approximate normality. The DerSimonian and Laird method was used to compute pooled estimates based on the transformed values and their variance. Possible publication bias was assessed by the Egger test and the funnel plot. RESULTS: A total of 22 studies were included, covering 22,323 people. Ten studies reported HBV prevalence in the general population. The HBV infection prevalence was 4.73% (95%CI: 2.75-7.17%) in the general population and 19.87% (95%CI: 10.95-30.63%) in high-risk/co-infected groups. By sub-group analysis, the prevalence was 6.81% (95% CI: 4.43-9.66) in adults older than 15 years old, 2.37% (95% CI:0.04-7.05) in children 6-15 years old, and 2.47% (95% CI: 0.96-4.59) in children less than five years old. The prevalence of HBV infection decreased over time. Predominant HBV genotypes were genotypes C and B with 82.96% and 16.79%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The decrease in HBV infection prevalence in Cambodia demonstrates the effects of national hepatitis B immunization, improved clinical hygiene, and the use of disposable devices. However, the estimated HBV prevalence among the general population indicates an intermediate endemicity level of HBV infection. Therefore, population screening and linkage to care, high vaccination coverage, health promotion, and HBV surveillance are essential to meet the WHO 2030 goal.
