question text To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Lord O'Shaughnessy on 15 November (HL11187 and HL11188), how many emergency and out-of-hours admissions due to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) were reported to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority in the last five years for which figures are available; what evidence supports their view that some OHSS-related admissions may have been incorrectly coded in the Hospital Episode Statistics; how many such admissions they estimate have been incorrectly coded in the last five years for which figures are available; and what steps they are taking to ensure that OHSS-related admissions are correctly recorded. more like this

answer text <p>The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has advised that it is a requirement for all its licensed centres to report cases of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) that require a hospital admission and have a severity grading of severe or critical. Some centres also report cases of mild or moderate OHSS.</p><p>Between 1 October 2013 and 31 October 2018 there were 792 OHSS cases reported requiring hospital admission (391 of which were classified as severe and 401 classified as mild/moderate). HFEA does not hold data on whether these admissions were out of hours or via emergency admission. Following the reports of cases of severe or critical OHSS, the centres are required to conduct a root cause analysis and submit a report to the HFEA. The HFEA publishes an annual report on incidents, of which OHSS cases form a part.</p><p>From April 2018 the HFEA has required its licensed centres to provide it with more information about treatment provided to patients in cases of severe OHSS. This information will be collected for two years and will then be analysed.</p><p>The HFEA has also advised that following discussions with key stakeholders it has reached a view that the Hospital Episode Statistics data may include a mislabelling of cases of OHSS. A paper presented to Authority members in January 2018 sets out the work undertaken to examine the reporting of severe and critical OHSS. A copy of <em>Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome</em> is attached. HFEA does not hold estimates of the number of hospital admissions that may have been incorrectly coded for OHSS.</p><p>HFEA is continuing to work to better understand the incidence of OHSS, reduce its occurrence and improve reporting.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
