“…However, it has become clear that OD pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, preterm birth, low birth weight, bleeding complications, and miscarriage compared with natural pregnancy or IVF pregnancy [1,7,16,24,28,29,35,38,49,59,64,68,69,78,80].…”

A new era in reproductive medicine: consequences of third-party oocyte donation for maternal and fetal health

et al. 2016

The fetus is a semi-allograft for the maternal host in natural pregnancy, but the fetus is a complete allograft after oocyte donation (OD), and there is greater antigenic dissimilarity with the mother. Thus, OD pregnancy is a good model for understanding how the fetus is protected by the maternal immune system. Recent clinical data have revealed a higher risk of miscarriage, gestational hypertension, preterm birth, and low birth weight with OD pregnancy. There is also a higher incidence of chorionic deciduitis, dense fibrinoid deposits in the chorionic basal plate, inflammatory lesions in the chorionic plate, and C4d deposition on syncytiotrophoblasts in OD pregnancy. Impaired accumulation of T cells, regulatory T (Treg) cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and monocytes in the decidua basalis and poor remodeling of spiral arteries are observed in OD pregnancy irrespective of whether preeclampsia occurs. These findings may partly explain why OD pregnancy is associated with a high risk of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia. We need to clarify the immunological and pathological differences between uncomplicated and complicated OD pregnancy. In uncomplicated OD pregnancy, the level of HLA match between mother and baby is significantly higher than would be expected by chance, suggesting that miscarriage may be frequent with marked HLA mismatch. This review discusses the relationship between various aspects of the immune system and complications of OD pregnancy.

“…However, pregnancies achieved with donated oocytes are associated with a high incidence of first trimester bleeding and a 2-to 3-fold higher risk of gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia when compared with conventional IVF (Serhal and Craft, 1989;Abdalla et al, 1998;Sö derstrom-Anttila et al, 1998;Yaron et al, 1998;Klein and Sauer, 2002;Sheffer-Mimouni et al, 2002;Wiggins and Main 2005;van der Hoorn et al, 2010;Stoop et al, 2012). The incidences of intrauterine growth restriction, preterm birth (PTB) and birth defects have mostly been comparable with conventional IVF (van der Hoorn et al, 2010), although impaired fetal growth in OD pregnancies when compared with conventional IVF has been noted (Gibbons et al, 2011).…”

summary answer: Pregnancies among women with TS carry a substantial risk, particularly for hypertensive disorders. Potentially lifethreatening complications occurred in 3.3% of pregnancies. The neonatal outcomes were generally reassuring, with similar rates of preterm birth and low birthweight (LBW) as after conventional IVF and better than previously reported in deliveries after OD in women with TS.what is known already: OD pregnancies in women with TS are known to be high-risk pregnancies. study design, size, duration: This retrospective cohort study included 106 women with TS who delivered after OD (n ¼ 122 deliveries, n ¼ 131 newborns) in three Nordic countries (Finland, Denmark, Sweden) between 1992 and participants, setting and methods: Women with TS who delivered after OD in three Nordic countries were identified (n ¼ 110). Four women declined to participate or were lost to follow-up, thus 106 women were included in the study. The medical data from fertility clinics, antenatal clinics and the hospitals where the women had been treated and/or delivered were scrutinized.main results and the role of chance: In this cohort, the karyotype was 45,X in 44% of the women with TS. Ten women (9.4%) had a known cardiac defect before pregnancy. Single embryo transfer was performed in 70.3% of the cases and the multiple birth rate was 7.4%. In total, 35.0% of the pregnancies were associated with a hypertensive disorder including pre-eclampsia in 20.5%. Potentially lifethreatening complications occurred in four pregnancies (3.3%), including one woman with aortic dissection, one with mild regurgitation of the tricuspid and mitral valve, one with a mechanical heart valve who developed HELLP syndrome (haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets) and one who underwent a post-partum hysterectomy due to severe haemorrhaging. Neonatal outcomes were reassuring, with a preterm birth rate of 8.0% and LBW rate of 8.8% in singletons. Major birth defects were found in 3.8% of the children. The perinatal mortality was 2.3% (3/131), including a set of extremely preterm twins.limitations, reasons for caution: Although this study was performed over a period of almost 20 years in three different countries, with a low drop-out rate and little missing data, much larger series are needed to assess rare events. This study also lacks an appropriate control group.

Maternal outcomes were in agreement with the literature while neonatal outcomes were generally better than previously reported. The outcomes were consistent across the three countries, supporting generalizability to similar populations.

“…Recipients achieving live birth are reported to be at increased risk for gestational diabetes, first and second trimester bleeding, cesarean section, preterm delivery (PTD), and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) compared to patients undergoing IVF and the general population (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). Many of these studies have focused on women of advanced maternal age, as these patients represent the majority electing OD.…”
