Factors associated with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and its effect on assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment and outcome

Open access

Abstract

Objective To evaluate factors associated with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and its effect on assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment and outcome. Design Historic cohort study. Setting Clinic-based data. Patient(s) The population included 214,219 ART cycles performed during 2004 to 2006 and reported to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinic Outcomes Reporting System Online database. The study population was limited to cycles of autologous, fresh embryo transfers to women without any treatment complications (212,041), and those developing moderate (1,523) or severe (655) OHSS. Intervention(s) None. Main outcome measure(s) Risk factors for developing OHSS, and its effect on achieving a pregnancy and live birth, as adjusted odds ratios. Result(s) Compared with white women, the risk of developing OHSS was increased for Black women (any OHSS, 1.88; severe OHSS, 2.93) and decreased for Hispanic women (any OHSS, 0.79). Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome was associated with ovulation disorders (2.01), tubal factors (1.24), and unexplained factors (1.36). Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome increased the odds of achieving a pregnancy (1.98 with any OHSS, 2.68 with severe), a live birth (any OHSS, 1.86), and a multiple live birth (1.58 with any OHSS, 1.86 with severe). The presence of any OHSS increased the risk of an adverse pregnancy outcome (stillbirth, low birthweight, or preterm birth) by 26% and low birthweight among singletons by 40%. Conclusion(s) Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is associated with a higher likelihood of pregnancy, and multiple gestations, but also greater risks for adverse pregnancy outcomes.

    “PCOS is also associated with an increased risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, a serious condition resulting from supraphysiologic levels of gonadotropins (Kumar et al., 2011; Tummon et al., 2005), whereas endometriosis involves a decreased risk of this syndrome (Luke et al., 2010).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
