“…Shoham et al (10) described a similar benefit in a small random prospective study where 16 high risk OHSS patients received albumin and did not develop severe OHSS, whereas a control group (no albumin) had 4/15 develop severe OHSS. Follow-up studies have shown mixed results with no benefit of prophylactic albumin reported by some authors (17,19), while others continue to describe reduction of OHSS (20).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
