Pregnancy outcome in women with endometriomas achieving pregnancy through IVF

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are associated with increased risk of preterm delivery and a small‐for‐gestational‐age child: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…In total, 16 studies were identified investigating the association between endometriosis and preterm delivery . The meta‐analyses showed that women with endometriosis had a higher odds of preterm delivery (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.28–1.69) than women without endometriosis (Figure a).…”

“…Of the total of 21 studies, 13 described the association between endometriosis and SGA . The meta‐analysis revealed a higher risk of having an SGA child among women with endometriosis, with an overall OR of 1.26 (95% CI 1.04–1.54) (Figure b).…”

“…In recent years, there has been a growing focus on potential adverse pregnancy outcomes among women suffering from endometriosis or adenomyosis, and associations with obstetrical complications have been suggested such as miscarriages, late pregnancy complications, preterm delivery and having a child that is small for gestational age (SGA) . Several studies have investigated whether women with endometriosis and adenomyosis have a higher risk of having a child born preterm or SGA, but results have pointed in opposite directions .…”

Impact of ovarian endometrioma on ovarian responsiveness and IVF: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…The literature search results are represented in Figure 1. Eight original articles were excluded because five studies investigated women who underwent surgical interventions to treat ovarian endometrioma (Benaglia et al, 2012;Donnez et al, 2001;Mao et al, 2009;Nakahara et al, 1998;Suzuki et al, 2005), one had a control group of ovarian cysts (Kumbak et al, 2008), one had a control group with endometriosis but without ovarian endometrioma (Isaacs et al, 1997), and in one study, no extractable data were available (Benaglia et al, 2011). Therefore, the total number of studies included in the meta-analysis was nine.…”

Impact of endometriosis and its staging on assisted reproduction outcome: systematic review and meta-analysis

“…From those, 4429 were excluded after reading titles and abstracts. A total of 176 records were completely assessed for eligibility, of which 84 studies were excluded with reasons: 70 studies did not compare endometriosis vs control or Stage III/IV vs Stage I/II endometriosis undergoing ART; eight studies did not report any of the evaluated outcomes; five studies included participants reported in newer or larger studies; and one study included only women who achieved pregnancy. We included 92 studies in this review, of which 78 studies were included in the quantitative meta‐analysis: 21 for both comparisons; 49 only for the comparison ‘endometriosis vs control’; and eight only for the comparison ‘Stage III/IV vs Stage I/II endometriosis’.…”
