Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To assess the value of intraovarian PRP in women with low ovarian reserve. SEARCH STRATEGY: Screening of databases from inception to January 2023 using the keywords related to "Platelet-rich plasma" AND "poor ovarian reserve" OR "ovarian failure". SELECTION CRITERIA: Fourteen studies (1632 participants) were included, 10 included women with POR, 1 included women with POI and 3 included both POR and POI women. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Extracted data included study settings, design, sample size, population characteristics, volume, timing and preparation of PRP administration, and outcome parameters. MAIN RESULTS: AMH level was evaluated in 11 studies (2099 women). The mean difference (MD) was 0.09 with 95% CI of - 0.06, 0.24 (P = 0.25). Antral follicular count level was assessed in 6 studies (1399 women). The MD was 1.73 with 95% CI of 0.81, 2.66 (P < 0.001). The number of oocytes retrieved was evaluated in 7 studies (1413 women). The MD was 1.21 with 95% CI of 0.48, 1.94 (P = 0.001). CONCLUSION: This systematic review found a significant improvement of AFC, the number of retrieved oocytes, the number of cleavage embryos and the cancellation rate in women with POR. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Registration number CRD42022365682.
