Abstract:Objective
To investigate the influence of environmental factors on the composition and structure of the vaginal microbiome, and to explore the interaction among environmental factors, vaginal microbiome and outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART).
Methods
Adonis test was utilized to evaluate the impact of 33 host/environmental variables on vaginal microbiome. DLNM, Mfuzz analysis and linear mixed effect model were employed to establish the correlations between ambient temperature and vaginal micro… Show more
