Ovarian function after COVID-19: long-term effects and vaccine safety in ART patients.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term impact of mild COVID-19 infection and COVID-19 vaccination on ovarian function in patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART). Specifically, we assessed ovarian outcomes between 9 and 18 months post-infection and investigated the effects of COVID-19 vaccines (inactivated virus and adenovirus) on reproductive parameters.
Methods: The study included two objectives: (a) examining ovarian function in post-COVID-19 patients (9-18 months post-infection) compared to a control group and (b) comparing reproductive outcomes in vaccinated versus unvaccinated patients. According to the study objectives, ART patients were divided into the following groups: a control group (n = 30), a post-COVID-19 group (n = 55), an unvaccinated group (n = 70), and a vaccinated group (n = 55). Findings revealed a reduction in the number of retrieved and mature oocytes in patients over 36 years in the post-COVID-19 group. Lower IL-1β levels were found in follicular fluid (FF) of post-COVID-19 patients, while VEGF levels were reestablished between 9 and 18 months post-infection. Although cell migration was reduced in endothelial cells incubated with post-COVID-19 FF, angiogenic factor levels and DNA integrity remained stable. No significant differences in retrieved or mature oocytes were observed between vaccinated and unvaccinated patients.
Conclusions: VEGF levels and DNA integrity in FF from post-COVID-19 patients were normalized between 9 and 18 months post-infection. Additionally, COVID-19 vaccination did not negatively impact ovarian response in ART patients, supporting vaccine safety in reproductive contexts.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics publishes cellular, molecular, genetic, and epigenetic discoveries advancing our understanding of the biology and underlying mechanisms from gametogenesis to offspring health. Special emphasis is placed on the practice and evolution of assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs) with reference to the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting fertility. Our goal is to educate our readership in the translation of basic and clinical discoveries made from human or relevant animal models to the safe and efficacious practice of human ARTs. The scientific rigor and ethical standards embraced by the JARG editorial team ensures a broad international base of expertise guiding the marriage of contemporary clinical research paradigms with basic science discovery. JARG publishes original papers, minireviews, case reports, and opinion pieces often combined into special topic issues that will educate clinicians and scientists with interests in the mechanisms of human development that bear on the treatment of infertility and emerging innovations in human ARTs. The guiding principles of male and female reproductive health impacting pre- and post-conceptional viability and developmental potential are emphasized within the purview of human reproductive health in current and future generations of our species.
The journal is published in cooperation with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, an organization of more than 8,000 physicians, researchers, nurses, technicians and other professionals dedicated to advancing knowledge and expertise in reproductive biology.
