To locate studies, a search was performed in electronic databases, in addition to preprint servers and reference lists of selected publications. Two independent reviewers searched, and the risk of bias in the selected studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. 1,086 records were initially retrieved, and one article was identified after consulting the reference lists of the screened articles, only four articles met the eligibility criteria. The quality of evidence was rated very low due to the design of the studies; however, the risk of bias was considered low. These are recent studies published between 2015 and 2021, whose main methodology was a cross-sectional or case-control study.

Although lower, anti-mullerian hormone levels were within the normal range in young women with sickle cell disease only with supportive care, in those who used hydroxyurea, a decrease in ovarian reserve was observed. support insufficient evidence support a causal relationship between sickle cell disease and reduced ovarian reserve.
