Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the association between spironolactone use and controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) outcomes.
Methods: Retrospective study, including patients who underwent COH. Oocyte yield and maturation rates were compared by categories of spironolactone use at the start of their cycle.
Results: 402 patients were included. 83 patients continued spironolactone, 44 patients discontinued spironolactone, and 275 matched control patients were spironolactone-naïve. No difference was observed in the number of oocytes retrieved (17 ± 14 vs. 15 ± 13, p = 0.4) or mature oocytes vitrified (15 ± 9.5 vs. 12 ± 11, p = 0.4) in patients who continued spironolactone use and spironolactone naïve patients, respectively. When comparing patients who continued spironolactone use and patients who discontinued spironolactone use, no difference was seen in the number of oocytes retrieved (17 ± 14 vs. 17.5 ± 7.8, p = 0.9) or mature oocytes vitrified (15 ± 9.5 vs. 13.5 ± 6.5, p = 0.5), respectively. There was no observed relationship between total daily spironolactone dose (< 100mg/day, 100mg/day, 150mg/day and > 200 mg/day) and the total number of mature oocytes vitrified (respectively, 14.0 ± 13.0, 16.0 ± 7.8, 14.0 ± 4.5, 11.0 ± 7.0 oocytes, p = 0.4).
Conclusions: This is the first study to evaluate the association between spironolactone and oocyte yield and maturation rates during COH cycles. These findings can assist in counseling patients on the implications of continuing spironolactone during COH cycle.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics publishes cellular, molecular, genetic, and epigenetic discoveries advancing our understanding of the biology and underlying mechanisms from gametogenesis to offspring health. Special emphasis is placed on the practice and evolution of assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs) with reference to the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting fertility. Our goal is to educate our readership in the translation of basic and clinical discoveries made from human or relevant animal models to the safe and efficacious practice of human ARTs. The scientific rigor and ethical standards embraced by the JARG editorial team ensures a broad international base of expertise guiding the marriage of contemporary clinical research paradigms with basic science discovery. JARG publishes original papers, minireviews, case reports, and opinion pieces often combined into special topic issues that will educate clinicians and scientists with interests in the mechanisms of human development that bear on the treatment of infertility and emerging innovations in human ARTs. The guiding principles of male and female reproductive health impacting pre- and post-conceptional viability and developmental potential are emphasized within the purview of human reproductive health in current and future generations of our species.
The journal is published in cooperation with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, an organization of more than 8,000 physicians, researchers, nurses, technicians and other professionals dedicated to advancing knowledge and expertise in reproductive biology.
