Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the commonest endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age.The classical symptoms are those of hyperandrogenism (hirsutism, persistant acne, androgen dependent alopecia) together with symptoms of anovulation (infertility, amenorrhoea, irregular dysfunctional uterine bleeding).1 In the last 10 to 15 years, the use of high resolution pelvic ultrasonography has greatly facilitated identification of polycystic ovaries in women with hirsutism or menstrual disturbance.It is now clear that the range of presenting symptoms of women with polycystic ovaries includes not only nonhirsute women with oligomenorrhoea or amenorrhoea but also hirsute subjects with regular, ovulatory cycles.PCOS occurs in nearly 75% of cases of anovulatory infertility and over 80% of subjects with hirsutism. 1The typical biochemical features of PCOS include hyperandrogenaemia and an increase of serum luteinising hormone (LH) (with normal follicle stimulating hormone) but PCOS is also associated with a characteristic metabolic syndrome that includes hyperinsulinaemia, insulin resistance, and dyslipidaemia.[1][2][3][4] These features are linked to a significantly increased risk of type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes in later life and women with PCOS may also have a greater chance of developing premature cardiovascular disease.3 5

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.
