Changes in thyroid function during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) and its impact on assisted reproduction technology (ART) outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background To investigate the thyroid function changes during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) and ascertain its impact on reproductive outcomes. Methods We conducted meta-analysis in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A comprehensive literature search was performed to identify studies reported changes in thyroid parameters during COH. We analyzed thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, free thyroxin (fT4) levels, changes in estrogens (E2), thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG), relative risks (RRs) of clinical pregnancy rate (CPR), live birth rate (LBR), and mean difference (MD) of TSH increment between the miscarriage group and ongoing pregnancy group. Results This meta-analysis included fifteen individual studies (n = 1665 subjects). At the end of COH, the mean TSH (2.53 mIU/L; 95% CI, 2.19 to 2.88; I-2 = 92.9%) exceeded the upper limit (2.5 mIU/L) and remained above the threshold until one month following embryo transfer (ET). Thyroxin decreased from baseline to the end of COH (-0.18 ng/l; 95% CI, -0.35 to 0.00; I-2 = 92.2%). The CPR and LBR of patients with TSH exceeding the cutoff after COH were significantly lower than those of patients with TSH below the threshold (CPR: RR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.82; I-2 = 0.0% and LBR: RR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.44 to 0.92; I-2 = 0.0%). The MD of the increment in TSH levels between the miscarriage and ongoing pregnancy groups was 0.40 mIU/L (95% CI, 0.15 to 0.65; I-2 = 0.0%). Conclusions This meta-analysis shows that TSH increases and fT4 decreases during COH. COH-induced thyroid disorder impairs reproductive outcomes.
