Abstract

CONTEXT: Recombinant human GH treatment and oocyte donation (OD) have improved the quality of life in women with Turner syndrome (TS). However, life expectancy is reduced, mainly due to cardiovascular complications. Pregnancy may itself increase that risk and be associated with hazardous materno-fetal outcome. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the materno-fetal outcome of ongoing pregnancies beyond 20 wk of gestation obtained by OD in TS. DESIGN: This was a multicenter retrospective study including all assisted reproductive technology centers affiliated with the French Study Group for Oocyte Donation. RESULTS: Among 93 patients, only 37.6% were prescreened with echocardiography or thoracic magnetic resonance imaging. Maternal outcome was dominated by 37.8% of pregnancy-associated hypertensive disorders including preeclampsia in 54.8% and severe eclampsia in four patients. Prematurity occurred in 38.3% and was correlated with pregnancy-associated hypertensive disorder (P = 0.01). The frequency of in utero growth retardation was 27.5%. One fetal demise was linked to eclampsia. Two patients died from aortic rupture after cesarean section in a context of aortic root dilatation. Only 40% of pregnancies were associated with an absolutely normal materno-fetal outcome. CONCLUSIONS: OD pregnancies in TS who have not been managed following recent specific recommendations were at high risk for maternal death by aortic dissection and for preeclampsia and its complications (fetal distress and in utero growth retardation). These recommendations include previous echocardiography, thoracic magnetic resonance imaging, and overnight blood pressure monitoring associated with a tight follow-up during pregnancy. Until future assessment of these recent recommendations, pregnancies obtained in TS after OD must be still considered as very high-risk pregnancies.

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.
