Prevention of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in IVF with or without ICSI and embryo transfer: a modified `coasting' strategy based on ultrasound for identification of high-risk patients

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) can be a severe and potentially life-threatening complication of ovarian stimulation for IVF. Coasting or withholding gonadotrophin stimulation relies on frequent estimation of serum oestradiol to identify patients at risk. A modified coasting protocol was de...

description Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) can be a severe and potentially life-threatening complication of ovarian stimulation for IVF. Coasting or withholding gonadotrophin stimulation relies on frequent estimation of serum oestradiol to identify patients at risk. A modified coasting protocol was developed in which identification of patients at risk of severe OHSS was based on ultrasound monitoring. Serum oestradiol concentrations were measured only in patients with >20 follicles on ultrasound (high risk). If serum oestradiol concentrations were

Coasting or withholding gonadotrophin stimulation relies on frequent estimation of serum oestradiol to identify patients at risk. A modified coasting protocol was developed in which identification of patients at risk of severe OHSS was based on ultrasound monitoring. Serum oestradiol concentrations were measured only in patients with &gt;20 follicles on ultrasound (high risk). If serum oestradiol concentrations were &lt;3000 pmol/l, the gonadotrophin dose was maintained; if concentrations were ≥3000 pmol/l but &lt;13200 pmol/l and ≥25% of the follicles had a diameter of ≥13 mm, the gonadotrophin dose was halved; and if serum oestradiol concentrations were ≥13 200 pmol/l and ≥25% of the follicles had a diameter of ≥15 mm, patients were coasted. In the latter group, human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) 10000 IU was administered when at least three follicles had a diameter of ≥18 mm and serum oestradiol concentrations were &lt;10000 pmol/l. Over a 10 month period, serum oestradiol concentrations were measured in 123 out of 580 cycles (24%) and in 50 cycles, gonadotrophins were withheld. Overall, moderate OHSS occurred in three patients (0.7%) and severe OHSS in one patient (0.2%). The pregnancy rates in the cycles where the gonadotrophin dose was reduced or withheld were 39.6 and 40% per cycle respectively; corresponding implantation rates were 30.7 and 25.6%. It is concluded that the modified coasting strategy is associated with a low risk of moderate and severe OHSS to a minimum without compromising pregnancy rates. Identification of patients at risk by ultrasound reduces the number of serum oestradiol measurements and thus inconvenience to patients as well as costs and workload.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0268-1161</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1460-2350</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1093/humrep/16.1.24</identifier><identifier>PMID: 11139531</identifier><identifier>CODEN: HUREEE</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Oxford: Oxford University Press</publisher><subject>Adult ; Biological and medical sciences ; Chorionic Gonadotropin - administration &amp; dosage ; coasting ; Embryo Transfer ; Estradiol - blood ; Female ; Female genital diseases ; Fertilization in Vitro - adverse effects ; Gynecology.
