Abstract Background: To evaluate predictive factors for recovery time from severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, 201 women who were hospitalized for severe OHSS were included. Patients with recurrent OHSS were excluded. All the patients received standardized treatment including intravenous hydration, plasma volume expansion, human albumin, furosemid, subcutaneous heparin, and paracentesis if necessary. The main outcome parameter was recovery time from OHSS. Recovery was defined if a morning hematocrit 45%; and (iii) sonographically detectable free fluid (ascites and/or pleural effusion), and a significant increase in ovarian diameter (>12 cm). The main outcome parameter was recovery time from OHSS and discharge from hospital, which was defined as reaching a morning hematocrit
