Abstract

Objective To examine long-term changes in polycystic ovarian morphology in women with polycystic ovaries and bulimia nervosa after treatment of the latter condition. Design Longitudinal follow-up study. Setting Eating disorder unit of a university hospital. Patient(s) Eight women originally treated for bulimia nervosa (T(0)) who underwent ultrasonography up to 2 years after treatment (T(1)) and had a second ultrasonographic scan 9 years later (T(2)). Intervention(s) Treatment of bulimia nervosa that combined cognitive behavioral therapy with insight-orientated psychotherapy. Main outcome measure(s) Ovarian morphology evaluated by ultrasonography, using the criteria of Adams to define polycystic ovaries; Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition diagnosis of eating disorders. Result(s) At T(1), 7 women had recent bulimia and 1 was quiescent. The woman with quiescent disease had normal ovaries. Of the 7 bulimic women, 6 had polycystic ovaries and 1 had multifollicular morphology. At T(2), 5 women were bulimic, all of whom had polycystic ovaries. Three women had normal eating patterns and normal ovarian morphology. Conclusion(s) This study clearly shows a strong association between resolution of bulimia and changes in ovarian morphology, suggesting that changes in the former mirror changes in the latter. It also demonstrates normalization of ovarian morphology in previously polycystic ovaries.

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.
