Preventative measures, early recognition, and prompt systematic supportive care will help avoid poor outcomes.
OUTCOMES: Published literature was retrieved through searches of Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library from 2011 to 2013 using appropriate controlled vocabulary ([OHSS]
ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and: agonist IVF, antagonist IVF,
metformin, HCG,
gonadotropin, coasting, freeze all, agonist trigger,
progesterone) and key words (
ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, ovarian stimulation,
gonadotropin, human chorionic gonadotropin, prevention). Results were restricted to systematic reviews, randomized control trials/controlled clinical trials, and observational studies published in English. There were no date restrictions. Searches were updated on a regular basis and incorporated in the guideline to February 2013. Grey (unpublished) literature was identified through searching the websites of health technology assessment and health technology-related agencies, clinical practice guideline collections, clinical trial registries, and national and international medical specialty societies.
