Obstetric and neonatal complications in pregnancies conceived after oocyte donation: a systematic review and meta-analysis

• Background Approximately 50 000 oocyte donation OD) treatment cycles are now performed annually in Europe and the US. Objectives To ascertain whether the risk of adverse obstetric and perinatal/neonatal outcomes is higher in pregnancies conceived by OD than in pregnancies conceived by conventional in-vitro fertilisation IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection ICSI) or spontaneously. Search Strategy A systematic search was performed in the PubMed, Cochrane and Embase databases from 1982-2016. Primary outcomes were hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, preeclampsia PE), gestational diabetes mellitus, postpartum haemorrhage, caesarean section, preterm birth, low birthweight and small for gestational age. Selection criteria Inclusion criteria were original studies including at least five OD pregnancies with a control group of pregnancies conceived by conventional IVF/ICSI or spontaneous conception, and case series with > 500 cases reporting one or more of the selected complications. Studies not adjusting for plurality were excluded. Data collection and analysis Thirty-five studies met the inclusion criteria. A random-effects model was used for the meta-analyses. Main results For OD pregnancies versus conventional IVF/ ICSI pregnancies the risk of PE was adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 2.11 (95% CI, 1.42-3.15) in singleton and AOR 3.31 (95% CI, 1.616.80) in multiple pregnancies. The risks of preterm birth and low birthweight in singletons were AOR 1.75 (95% CI, 1.39-2.20) and 1.53 (95% CI, 1.16-2.01), respectively. Conclusions OD conceptions are associated with adverse obstetric and neonatal outcomes. To avoid the additional increase in risk from multiplicity, single-embryo transfer should be the choice of option in OD cycles.
