Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To assess the outcome of pregnancies conceived with the use of IVF that are complicated by severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). DESIGN: A retrospective nationwide multicenter study. SETTING: Sixteen of 19 tertiary care medical centers in Israel. PATIENT(S): All patients undergoing IVF who were hospitalized for severe OHSS between January 1987 and December 1996. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Pregnancy rate (PR) and rates of multiple gestation, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, obstetric complications, and intervention. RESULT(S): A total of 163 patients who had severe OHSS after IVF treatment were identified, of whom 142 (87.1%) had undergone ET. The clinical PR was 73.2%; 42.3% were singletons, 33.6% were twins, 17.3% were triplets, and 6.7% were quadruplets. The miscarriage rate was 29.8%, whereas the incidence of ectopic pregnancy was 1.9%. Forty-four percent of all births were premature, and 62.1% of all newborns had low birth weight. The most common antenatal complications were pregnancy-induced hypertension (13.2%), gestational diabetes (5.9%), and placental abruption (4.4%). The rate of cesarean section was 44.1%. CONCLUSION(S): Among patients who have severe OHSS after IVF treatment, the pregnancy rate and the rates of multiple gestation, miscarriage, prematurity, low birth weight, pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes, and placental abruption are significantly higher than those reported previously for pregnancies conceived with the use of assisted reproductive techniques.
