Psychosocial outcomes of uterine transplant recipients and partners up to 3 years after transplantation: Results from the Swedish trial

Fertility and Sterility Jul 26, 2020

Järvholm S, Dahm-Kähler P, Kvarnström N, et al. - Researchers conducted a prospective observational study including nine women with absolute uterine factor infertility and their male partners assessing their psychosocial outcomes 2 and 3 years after entering this first clinical uterus transplantation study. They obtained scores on the validated questionnaires 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Dyadic Adjustment Scale, and Fertility Quality of life to evaluate health-related quality-of-life, mood, relationship, and infertility-associated life quality, respectively. Outcomes suggest that despite stable and equal or better baseline psychosocial characteristics of the women to undergo transplantation and their partners relative to norm populations, graft failure and failure to attain parenthood will pose psychological strains on couples in the period up to 3 years after transplantation. This emphasizes the necessity for offering psychological counseling past 3 years for recipients and their partners.
