通过改良的Delphi共识程序为良性妇科疾病(BGD)妇女的卵母细胞玻璃化冷冻提供有关保留生育力(FP)的临床实践指南。
由14名医疗保健专业人员和一名有子宫内膜异位症经验的患者代表组成的指导委员会确定了42种与FP相关的BGD的潜在实践。然后,包括各种医疗保健专业人员(n=108)和患者代表(n=6)在内的114个主要利益相关者被要求通过2020年2月至9月的两轮在线调查和最后一次会议参与修改后的Delphi流程。由于COVID-19大流行,达成共识的最后一次会议于2020年11月作为视频会议举行。
利益相关者的调查响应为第1轮的75%(86/114)和第2轮的87%(75/86)。就28个项目的建议达成了共识,已分为五个一般类别:(i)向育龄妇女提供BGD的信息,(ii)用于BGD的FP的技术方面,(iii)子宫内膜异位症中FP的适应症,(iv)非子宫内膜异位症BGD的FP适应症,(v)偶然诊断为特发性卵巢储备减少后FP的适应症。
这些指南提供了一些实践建议,以帮助卫生专业人员更好地告知女性在管理BGD之前冷冻保存卵母细胞的可能性,这可能会影响她们的卵巢储备和生育能力。
法国国家妇科学院(CNGOF)资助了德尔福进程的实施。
To provide clinical practice
guidelines about fertility preservation (FP) for women with benign gynecologic disease (BGD) developed by a modified Delphi
consensus process for oocyte
vitrification in women with benign gynecologic disease.
A steering committee composed of 14 healthcare professionals and a patient representative with lived experience of endometriosis identified 42 potential practices related to FP for BGD. Then 114 key stakeholders including various healthcare professionals (n=108) and patient representatives (n=6) were asked to participate in a modified Delphi process via two online survey rounds from February to September 2020 and a final meeting. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this final meeting to reach
consensus was held as a videoconference in November 2020.
Survey response of stakeholders was 75 % (86/114) for round 1 and 87 % (75/86) for round 2.
Consensus was reached for the recommendations for 28 items, that have been distributed into five general categories: (i) Information to provide to women of reproductive age with a BGD, (ii) Technical aspects of FP for BGD, (iii) Indications for FP in endometriosis, (iv) Indications for FP for non-endometriosis BGD, (v) Indications for FP after a fortuitous diagnosis of an idiopathic diminished ovarian reserve.
These
guidelines provide some practice advice to help health professionals better inform women about the possibilities of cryopreserving their oocytes prior to the management of a BGD that may affect their ovarian reserve and fertility.
The CNGOF (Collège National des Gynécologues Obstétriciens Français) funded the implementation of the Delphi process.
