To assess the general consensus on the cryopreservation of oocytes and the introduction of oocyte banking facilities in the Netherlands.
Poll investigation
A poll with the use of an online questionnaire was conducted among nearly 19,000 participants of the Dutch EenVandaag opinion panel in May 2011. The poll results were adjusted to the Dutch population based on data from the Dutch Central Office for Statistics for age, gender, education, marital status, geographical area and political preference (measured according to the lower house elections of 2010). The primary endpoints were the percentages of supporters of oocyte freezing for own future use and of the concept of introducing oocyte banking facilities in The Netherlands. The secondary endpoints were the demographic differences between supporters and opponents.
Approximately half of 18.911 participants supported oocyte freezing (47%). Fifty-percent of all participants supported oocyte banking in the Netherlands. Supporters of oocyte freezing were mainly women ≤ 45 years of age, who are highly educated and have no children. Four percent of the participating women aged ≤ 45 years would seriously consider obtaining donor oocytes from an available oocyte banking facility. Twelve percent of the participating women ≤ 45 years of age said they would definitely donate their oocytes or would seriously consider donating. Thirty-seven percent of all participants were against the introduction of oocyte banking facilities. The most important arguments against oocyte freezing were that women should reproduce during normal reproductive years and that it was not medically necessary.
Poll results showed much support for oocyte freezing and for the introduction of oocyte banking facilities in the Netherlands. In addition, the poll shows that oocyte banking facilities would fulfil a need in the population.
评估荷兰对于卵母细胞冷冻保存及引入卵母细胞库设施的总体共识。
民意调查
2011年5月，对荷兰“EenVandaag”民意调查小组近19000名参与者进行了一项使用在线问卷的民意调查。根据荷兰中央统计局关于年龄、性别、教育程度、婚姻状况、地理区域和政治倾向（根据2010年下议院选举衡量）的数据，将民意调查结果调整为荷兰人口情况。主要终点是支持为自身未来使用而冷冻卵母细胞的比例以及支持在荷兰引入卵母细胞库设施这一概念的比例。次要终点是支持者和反对者之间的人口统计学差异。
18911名参与者中约一半（47%）支持卵母细胞冷冻。所有参与者中有50%支持在荷兰建立卵母细胞库。支持卵母细胞冷冻的主要是年龄≤45岁、受过高等教育且无子女的女性。年龄≤45岁的参与女性中有4%会认真考虑从现有的卵母细胞库设施获取供体卵母细胞。年龄≤45岁的参与女性中有12%表示她们肯定会捐献自己的卵母细胞或会认真考虑捐献。37%的所有参与者反对引入卵母细胞库设施。反对卵母细胞冷冻的最重要理由是女性应在正常生育年龄生育且这在医学上并非必要。
民意调查结果显示荷兰对卵母细胞冷冻及引入卵母细胞库设施有很大支持。此外，民意调查表明卵母细胞库设施将满足人群中的一种需求。
