Popis: Objective: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a major complication of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a risk factor for OHSS. The aim of this randomized clinical trial (RCT) was to study the effect of low-dose aspirin (LDA) on the development of OHSS and ART outcomes in PCOS during ART. Materials and methods: This double-blinded placebo controlled RCT was performed on 232 PCOS infertile women in their first ART cycles during 2010–2016. LDA and placebo capsules were prepared, packed and specified by code numbers in similar shapes. One package was given to every woman and asked to take one capsule/day since the 21st day of her cycle prior to the gonadotropin stimulation. Gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist long protocol and triggering by human chorionic gonadotropin were used. Development of moderate to severe OHSS and their ART outcomes were documented then the codes were broken and data analyzed. Chi-square and Mann–Whitney U tests were used for the statistical analyses. Results: Eighteen cases that did not follow the study design were excluded. 214 cycles remained for the final analyses with 109 cases in LDA and 105 in the placebo group. Rate of the moderate to severe OHSS in LDA group was 34.9% compared to 30.5% in placebo group (P = 0.494). Fertilization rate was 71.8% vs 65.1% (P =
