Objective To retrospectively analyze the emergency complications of the patients after oocyte retrieval with assisted reproductive technology (ART), and analyze the corresponding strategies. Methods The clinical data of patients after oocyte retrieval with ART between January and December 2016 were retrospectively anayzed. The postoperative emergency complications were observed. Results A total of 5 013 patients were included in the study. The common emergency complications after oocyte retrieval included vaginal bleeding in 137 cases (2.73%) , ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in 35 (0.69%), hematuria caused by bladder injury in 11 cases (0.21%), pelvic infection in 3 (0.06%), and vagal reflex in 2 (0.04%). OHSS was related to age, the number of basal follicles, the number of oviposaccharides and the estradiol level on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin injection, but not related to the body mass index and the number of days of gonadotropin use; which might be misdiagnosed most likely. Conclusions OHSS is one of the common and severe emergency complications after oocyte retrieval with ART, which should be concerned. Active treatment of complications is helpful to reduce the incidence of emergency complications after oocyte retrieval with ART.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the effects of assisted reproductive technology in single pregnancy on the incidence of gestational diabetes.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP and CBM databases were electronically searched to collect cohort studies on the correlation between assisted reproductive technology (ART) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) incidence in single pregnancy from inception to June 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 16 cohort studies involving 2 017 573 cases of single pregnancy were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with the natural pregnancy group, the incidence of GDM was higher in the ART group (RR=1.54, 95%CI 1.30 to 1.83, P<0.000 01). In East Asia and Non-East Asia, the incidence of GDM in the ART group was higher than that in the natural pregnancy group (East Asia: RR=1.55, 95%CI 1.26 to 1.92, P<0.000 01; Non-East Asia: RR=1.49, 95%CI 1.18 to 1.89. P<0.000 1).ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that the incidence of GDM may increase in single pregnancy with ART compared with natural pregnancy. Due to limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.
Objective To observe the effect of assisted reproductive technology (ART) on retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in preterm infants. MethodsA retrospective clinical study. From January 2016 to January 2020, 639 preterm infants who were hospitalized at Children's Hospital of Zhengzhou University and underwent fundus screening at a gestational age ≤32 weeks were included in the study. There were 366 males and 273 females. Gestational age at birth were (28.3±1.4) weeks; birth weight were (1 153.8±228.8) g. Severe ROP was detected in 60 cases (9.4%, 60/639); 120 were ART recipients, and 519 were naturally conceived, and were divided into the ART group and the control group accordingly. The incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (χ2=21.675), pulmonary surfactant application (χ2=13.558), and twin births (yes) (χ2=145.568) in mothers of the children examined in both groups were significantly higher than that of the control group, and the difference were statistically significant in all cases (P＜0.001). Comparison of quantitative data between groups was performed by t-test, and comparison of count data was performed by χ2 test; logistic regression was used to analyze the effect of ART on the incidence of ROP. ResultsOf the 60 cases of severe ROP, 18 (15.0%, 18/120) and 42 (8.1%, 42/519) cases were in the ART group and control group, respectively. The incidence of severe ROP was significantly higher in the ART group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.680, P=0.024). Compared with the control group, the incidence of severe ROP was significantly higher in the ART group for gestational age at birth ＜28 weeks and birth weight ＜1 000 g, and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=10.116, 3.785; P=0.002, 0.037). Logistic regression analysis showed that ART was a non-independent risk factor for the occurrence of ROP (P＞0.05). ConclusionAssisted reproductive technology may have a certain influence on the occurrence of ROP, which is not an independent factor.
