RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Individualization of controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) for assisted conception is complicated by variable ovarian response to follicle stimulating hormone. We hypothesized that anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a predictor of oocyte yield, may facilitate treatment strategies for women undergoing COS, to optimize safety and clinical pregnancy rates. METHODS: Prospective cohort study of 538 patients in two centres with differential COS strategies based on a centralized AMH measurement. RESULTS: AMH was associated with oocyte yield after ovarian stimulation in both centres, and a 'reduced' AMH (1 to <5 pmol/l) was associated with a reduced clinical pregnancy rate. Women with a 'normal' AMH (5 to <15 pmol/l) treated with a long GnRH-agonist protocol (both centres) showed a low incidence of excess response (0%) and poor response (0%). In women with 'high' AMH (>15 pmol/l), the antagonist protocol eliminated the need for complete cryopreservation of embryos due to excess response (P < 0.001) and showed a higher fresh cycle clinical pregnancy rate than agonist cycles [OR 4.40 (95% CI 1.95-9.93), P < 0.001]. CONCLUSIONS: The use of circulating AMH to individualize treatment strategies for COS may result in reduced clinical risk, optimized treatment burden and maintained pregnancy rates, and is worthy of prospective randomized examination.

RESUMO

AIM: To determine the effect on quality of life and cost effectiveness of specialist nurse early supported discharge for women undergoing major abdominal and/or pelvic surgery for benign gynaecological disease compared with routine care. STUDY DESIGN: Randomised controlled trial comparing specialist nurse supported discharge with routine hospital care in gynaecology. The SF-36, a generic health status questionnaire, was used to measure women's evaluation of their health state before surgery and at 6 weeks after surgery. A further questionnaire scoring patient symptoms, milestones of recovery, information given and satisfaction, was administered prior to discharge from hospital and at 6 weeks thereafter. SETTING: Gynaecology service at the Western Infirmary Glasgow, part of North Glasgow University, NHS Trust. PARTICIPANTS: One hundred and eleven women scheduled for major abdominal or pelvic surgery for benign gynaecological disease. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: SF-36 health survey questionnaire baseline scores were reported before surgery and at 6 weeks follow-up. Complications, length of hospital stay, readmission, information on discharge support and satisfaction of women were recorded at discharge from hospital and at 6 weeks follow-up. A cost consequence analysis was conducted based on the perspective of the NHS. RESULTS: The addition of a specialist nurse to routine hospital care in gynaecology significantly reduced the post-operative length of hospital stay p = 0.001, improved information delivery and satisfaction of women. The specialist nurse supported discharge group was associated with significantly lower total costs to the NHS than routine care resulting principally from the difference in the cost of the post-operative length of stay. CONCLUSIONS: Women undergoing major abdominal and pelvic surgery were discharged home earlier with provision of support from a specialist gynaecology nurse. The results of this study suggest that duration of hospital stay can be shortened by the introduction of a specialist nurse without introducing any adverse physical and psychological effects. This process of care is associated with receipt of information on health and lifestyle issues and maintenance of high levels of patient satisfaction and demonstrates the effectiveness of the specialist nurse role in the provision of health information for women. Earlier hospital discharge at 48 h after major abdominal and pelvic surgery is an acceptable, cost effective alternative to current routine practice in the absence of further randomised evidence.
