“…Moreover, review of recently published articles detected only one study compared the effect of coasting versus aspiration on incidence of OHSS; however, that study reported no difference between follicular reduction prior to HCG and coasting, in terms of OHSS reduction as a primary endpoint [26], these results are contradictory to the result of the current study and this difference could be attributed to multiple imitations of Bushaqer's study [26], firstly, the sample size is small; 39 women were divided into two study groups and 8 women developed OHSS; 6 versus 2 women in each group, respectively but these numbers could not reach the appropriate limit for statistical analysis to be significant or non-significant. Secondly, Bushaqer's study [26] did not comment on the frequencies of OHSS severity manifestations, which are more important than the sole frequency of OHSS. On the other hand, the current study reported significantly reduced OHSS manifestations, both as frequency and severity, with follicular aspiration than with coasting, so the current study approved the efficacy and safety of follicular aspiration in comparison to coasting despite of proved efficacy of coasting.…”
