Thrombosis and haemostasis, 03/2023, Volume: 123, Issue: 3Journal Article
Hormonal exposure leads to an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) but the risk of VTE associated with assisted reproductive technology (ART) is not clearly determined. We searched in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library databases and identified all relevant articles published up to February 1, 2021. The primary objective was to determine the frequency of VTE associated with ART. Secondary objectives were to determine (1) the risk of VTE associated with ART as compared to pregnancy without ART; (2) the risk of VTE associated with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS); and (3) to determine potential risk factors of VTE related to ART. Fourteen studies were included. The overall frequency of VTE associated with ART was 0.23% (95% confidence interval CI: 0.07-0.46). Women undergoing ART had a two- to threefold increased risk of VTE as compared to spontaneous pregnancy (relative risk RR: 2.66; 95% CI: 1.60-4.43). The overall frequency of VTE specifically related to OHSS was <0.001%. The risk of VTE after ART complicated by OHSS, as compared to ART without OHSS, was higher but not statistically significant (RR: 14.83; 95% CI: 0.86-255.62). Risk factors of VTE associated with ART were in vitro fertilization procedure (RR, odds ratio OR, and hazard ratio varying from 1.77, 95% CI: 1.41-2.23 to 4.99, 95% CI: 1.24-20.05), hyperhomocysteinemia (OR: 15.2; 95% CI: 2.0-115.0), polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) (RR: 4.8; 95% CI: 1.7-13.4), successful ART leading to pregnancy (OR: 13.94; 95% CI: 1.41-137.45). Further large prospective studies on risk factors of VTE in women undergoing ART are needed in order to optimize thromboprophylaxis in this context.
