Abstract

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have a substantially increased risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common sleep disorder in PCOS. Recent population-based studies indicate a high incidence of OSA among adult women with PCOS. Obesity and increasing age are the main factors for this association. There is strong evidence indicating that OSA is an important modulator of metabolic risk in the general population. There is also some evidence to suggest that OSA may contribute to insulin resistance and glucose intolerance among women PCOS, and thus increase their metabolic risk. The potential mechanisms for adverse metabolic consequences of OSA are likely to be multiple. Whether treatment of OSA in PCOS improves metabolic outcomes requires further rigorous research.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
