Strategies to improve the outcomes of assisted reproduction in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

CONCLUSION: There is low to moderate quality evidence suggesting that antagonist protocols are preferable to agonist ones, because they reduce the incidence of OHSS without interfering with clinical pregnancy and live birth for women with PCOS. Additionally there is low quality evidence pointing a benefit for metformin supplementation on clinical pregnancy and live birth; and that the ovulation induction and estradiol seems to be equally effective for endometrial preparation before frozen embryo transfer for women with PCOS. For all other interventions, the quality of the evidence is of very low quality, not allowing any meaningful conclusions. PMID: 26924636 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
