Increased risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension in young recipients of donated oocytes

Objective To assess the rates of select obstetric outcomes in oocyte donation (OD) recipients aged Design Retrospective anonymous questionnaire study. Setting University-based IVF center. Patient(s) Live-birth outcome was experienced by 199 OD recipients and 488 IVF patients Intervention(s) The OD or IVF cycles. Main Outcome Measure(s) Response rate, pregnancy outcome, and complications. Result(s) Response rate was 60%. The OD recipients had significantly higher rates of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) than their IVF counterparts. The OD Conclusion(s) The OD recipients are at higher risk for untoward obstetric outcomes than their IVF counterparts. Young OD recipients reported the highest rate of PIH, warranting further investigation into an association between early loss of ovarian function and PIH.
