There was a signicant correlation between the baseline ovar­ianvolumeandthesubsequentoccurrenceofOHSS.The authors suggested that volumetry of the ovaries could help to detect patients at risk.
Lass et al. [24] studied whether ovarian volume in the early follicular phase of WHO group II anovulatory patients would predict the response to ovulation induction with gonadotro­pins. They analyzed retrospective data from two prospective randomized multicenter studies, in cluding 465 patients undergoing ovulation induction, and found that WHO Group II anovulatory women with medium-sized or large ovaries undergoing low-dose gonadotropin stimulation for ovulation induction have a higher risk for OHSS than women wi th small ov aries.
Number and size of follicles during ovarian stimulation
Ultrasound is widely used for monitoring follicular develop­ment in assisted conception [25,26]. The number, size, and
pattern of distribution of the follicles are important in the prediction of OHSS. Tal et al. found a positive correlation between the mean number of immature follicles and OHSS [27]. One of the most often quoted articles in reference to the prediction is that by Blankstein et al. (1987), who stated that a decrease in the fraction of the mature follicles and an increase in the fraction of the very small follicles correlated with an aug­mented risk for the development of severe OHSS [28]. More recently, Kwee et al. found that women with an antral follicle count of 15 or more are at a higher risk of developing OHSS (Table 36.3)[29].
Low intravascular ovarian resistance
Moohan et al. [30] assessed the intraovarian blood ow in relation to the severity of OHSS in 30 patients with OHSS after embryo transfer who also had sonographic evidence of ascites. The authors measured the resistance to blood ow within the ovaries of 11 patients with severe OHSS and 19 patients with mild OHSS using transabdominal

there were changes in vascular impedance. A close correlation was observed between the OHSS severity and the intraovarian blood ow resistance. The authors suggested that measure­ments of intraovarian vascular resistance in patients under­going controlled ovarian hyperstimulation may help in predicting those patients at particular risk of developing OHSS.
The combination of estradiol and ultrasonograp hy oers the best chance for the prediction of OHSS. Ultrasonographic follow-up of the leading follicles should be used for the deter­mination of the hCG administration and serum estradiol meas­urement, and sonographic visualization of small and intermediate follicles should be used to determine the likeli­hood of OHSS.

Prevention of OHSS

Rizk in 1993 suggested the Ten Commandmentsfor the prevention of OHSS [31]. Today the list has expanded to two lists of Ten Commandments[32]. The rst list addresses the primary prevention of OHSS, which includes options before stimulation such as ovarian diathermy, and during stimulation such as the use of low-dosage gonadotropins [32](Table 36.4). The second list addresses the secondary prevention of OHSS, which includes withholding or delaying hCG, use of luteinizing hormone or gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist (GnRh-a) in place of hCG for triggering ovulation, and proges­terone for luteal phase support (Figure 36.17; Table 36.5).
Rizk has recently noted that among the options available for the prevention of OHSS, coasting, or delaying hCG admin­istration until the estradiol levels drop to below 3000 pg/ml, is currently the most popular method [26]. When estradiol levels increase rapidly in women undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) with the concomitant administration of gonadotropins and GnRH-a, if gonadotropins and not

GnRH-a are withheld, as there is no endogenous gonadotropin secretion to sustain follicular growth, a rapid decline in estra­diol levels will occur (Figure 36.17). Healthy developing follicles tolerate a brief period of gonadotropin deprivation, but gran­ulosa cells of smaller follicles are less tolerant of withholding of gonadotropin stimulus [33,34,35]. Further evidence that could explain the coasting physiology is that VEGF expression and secretion are signicantly decreased in coasted patients [33]. This is the rationale for coasting to reduce the risk/severity of OHSS in a high-risk population [33,34,35].
In women who develop OHSS, VEGF is overexpressed and produced by granulosa-lutein cells and released into the follic­ular uid in response to hCG, inducing increased capillary permeability. hCG induces the expression of VEGF in cultured granulosa-lutein cells of women developing OHSS [16]. Similarly, hCG stimulates the release of VEGF in human endo­thelial cells, which in turn act in an autocrine manner, increas­ing vascular permeability (VP). Thus, both the granulosa and endothelial cells may be involved in the production and release

hyperstimulation syndrome.
36–38 h
of VEGF in women who develop OHSS, although the concept that granulosa-lutein cells behave as actual endothelial cells has also been proposed [33,34,35]. The ability to reverse hCG action on VP by targeting the VEGF-R2 employing SU5416 was not only reassuring of the key role of VEGF in OHSS but also provided new insights into the development of strategies to prevent and treat the syndrome based on its pathophysiological mechanism [36], rather than using empirical approaches as we do today (Figures 36.18, 36.19, 36.20).
Dopamine receptor 2 agonists inhibit VEGF-R2-dependent VP and angiogenesis when administered at high doses in ani­mal cancer models. To test whether VEGF-R2-dependent VP and angiogenesis could be segregated in a dose-dependent fashion with cabergoline, a well-established OHSS rat model supplemented with prolactin was used [37]. Low-dose cabergo­line at 100 μg/kg reversed VEGF-R2-dependent VP without aecting luteal angiogenesis through partial inhibition of ovar­ian VEGF-R2 phosphorylation levels. No luteolytic eects (serum progesterone levels and luteal apoptosis unaected) were observed. Cabergoline administration also did not aect VEGF/VEGF-R2 ovarian mRNA levels (Figures 36.18, 36.19,
36.20)[37,38,39,40]. In a recent prospective, randomized, con-
trolled trial, Carizza et al. found that, in humans, cabergoline was benecial in the prevention of early-onset but not late-onset OHSS [41]. The authors studied 166 patients with estradiol concentrations of greater than 4000 pg/ml on the day of hCG administration. They all received 20 g of intravenous human albumin on the day of oocyte retrieval. The patients were randomized into two groups: group A (n =83)received0.5mg. oral cabergoline per day for 3 weeks beginning on the day after oocyte retrieval, and group B (n = 83) received no medi­cation. In group A, no patients progressed to early OHSS and 9 patients develop
ed late OHSS. In group B, 12 patients pro­gressed to early OHSS and 3 to late OHSS. The authors con­cluded that cabergoline decreased the risk of early OHSS signicantly (P < 0.001), but not late-onset OHSS.

Treatment of OHSS

The management of OHSS depends on the severity and the presence or absence of complications [42]. Most patients with mild or moderate OHSS are treated as outpatients. The comfort of the physician and the reliability of the patient are crucial determinants. Patients with severe OHSS (grade C) are treated in the hospital, while patients with grades A and B may be treated in the IVF unit or the hospital depending on the pres­ence or absence of complications. The indications for hospital­ization are listed in Table 36.6.

Medical treatment in the hospital consists of correction of circulatory volume and electrolyte imbalance (Figure 36.21). Anticoagulation is given in patients who have developed thromboembolism or to those who are at risk of developing thromboembolism. Today, we have a more liberal approach to anticoagulating these patients. Diuretics should not be admin­istered in patients with severe OHSS, except for the treatment of pulmonary edema. Navot and colleagues have the largest expe­rience of the management of patients with severe OHSS using albumin and Lasix, and their experience should be consulted in the management of these critical patients [4].

Chapter 36: Prediction and management of OHSS
Ultrasonography is also essential in the management of severe OHSS. Rizk and Aboulghar in 1991 recommended that aspiration of ascitic uid be performed transvaginally or trans­abdominally under ultrasonographic guidance in the presence of tense ascites [42]. Aboulghar et al. demonstrated that trans­vaginal aspiration improves patientssymptoms and renal func­tion (43]. The increased intra-abdominal pressure may compromise venous return and, consequently, cardiac output as well as threaten renal edema and possibly thrombosis. In the presence of tense ascites and oliguria, increasing levels of crea­tinine, or hemoconcentration that is unresponsive to medical therapy, ultrasound-guided aspiration of ascitic uid must be performed. The dramatic improvement in clinical symptoms (rise in urine output and creatinine clearance, decrease in hematocrit, alleviation of dyspnea and abdominal discomfort) supports this treatment modality as safe and exceptionally benecial [44]. Repeated transabdominal aspiration can also be safely performed [45]. Chen et al. investigated the eects of paracentesis on uterine and intraovarian hemodynamics by color Doppler ultrasound to determine the inuence of

repeated paracentesis on pregnancy outcome in severe OHSS [45]. In their study, 41 abdominal paracenteses were performed on 7 pregnant women with tense ascites, and thoracocenteses were performed on 3 pregnant women with pleural eusion. Pulsatility index and maximum peak systolic veloc ity of uterine and intraovarian arteries were measured before and after each intervention. The mean pulsatility index of uterine arteries was decreased signicantly after paracentesis but not after thoraco­centesis. Interestingly, the authors observed a decrease in the uterine pulsatility index in 13 out of 14 paracenteses (93%) with less than 2500 ml of ascites removed compared with 8 out of 13 (62%) with more than 2500 ml of ascites removed. After para­centesis, there were no signicant changes in the intraovarian pulsatility index and mean peak systolic velocity in either group. The authors observed no dierence in miscarriage rates between the two groups and concluded that repeated abdominal paracentesis increased uterine perfusion without adverse eects on pregnancy outcome in patients with severe OHSS [43]. Al-Ramahi et al. reported three cases where an indwelling peritoneal catheter was used to decrease the need for paracentesis. Under ultrasound guidance, a closed-system Dawson–Mueller catheter with simp-loclocking design was inserted to allow continuous drainage of the ascitic uid [46]. The authors concluded that continuous drainage of the ascitic uid is preferable to multiple abdominal paracenteses in the management of severe OHSS. Abuzeid et al. studied the ecacy and safety of percutaneous pigtail catheter drainage for the management of ascites complicating severe OHSS [47]. A pig­tail catheter was inserted under ultrasound guidance and kept in place until drainage ceased. Surgery should be avoided in most patients with OHSS, except in the cases of ovarian torsion or hemorrhage.

Key points in clinical practice

*
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is characterized by
bilateral cystic ovarian enlargement and third-space uid
shift resulting in ascites and pleural eusion.
*
Severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome might be
associated with serious complications such as
thromboembolism, adult respiratory distress syndrome,
and kidney failure.
*
Human chorionic gonadotropin increases VEGF
production by granulosa cells and endothelial cells, which
results in increased vascular permeability.
*
The cornerstone of successful prevention of OHSS is
accurate prediction.
*
Previous history of OHSS or polycystic ovary syndrome is
highly predictive of the development of OHSS during
ovarian stimulation.
*
Ultrasound is essential for the prediction of OHSS before,
during, and after the treatment cycle.
*
Baseline antral follicle count and ovarian volume are
strongly associated with OHSS.
*
The presence of a large number of follicles (>20 per ovary)
and increase in the small and intermediate follicles are
associated with an increased risk for the development of
severe OHSS.
*
Increased intraovarian blood ow and low intravascular
ovarian resistance are correlated with the severity of OHSS
in patients who develop the syndrome.
*
The presence of multiple pregnancy increases the risk of the
severity and duration of OHSS.
*
The primary prevention of OHSS can be achieved by the use
of low-dose gonadotropins and, in some cases, ovarian
drilling prior to IVF.
*
The secondary prevention of OHSS involves delaying the
hCG, known as coasting,and, in some cases, cancellation
of the hCG.
*
The medical treatment of OHSS consists of
correction of circulatory volume and electrolyte
imbalance.
*
Ultrasonographic guidance of transvaginal or
transabdominal aspiration of ascites improves the
symptoms of patients with OHSS.
