Are Lean and Normal Weight Patients with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome at Risk of Preeclampsia?
Authors
Abstract:
Background We examined whether pregnant women with preeclampsia have an increased rate of pre-pregnancy polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This study also evaluated whether the association, if any, was a result of preeclampsia and its relationship to PCOS or dependent upon concurrent obesity. MaterialsAndMethods In this study, 75 preeclampsia cases and 225 normotensive pregnant controls, matched for age and gravidity, were enrolled. A confirmation of pre-pregnancy PCOS was ascertained by recording medical history, along with a physical examination directed for signs and symptoms of PCOS, an ultrasound report of polycystic ovaries and laboratory tests which confirmed hyperandrogenism prior to pregnancy. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated for each patient. Participants were classified into two categories: lean/normal and obese according to a BMI
