Overview

Case-control study evaluates ovarian volume using Doppler ultrasound for identifying PCOS in women.

Key Points

  • The average ovarian volume in PCOS women was significantly larger than in control women, indicating a potential diagnostic marker.
  • A significant 23.2% of women with PCOS had ovarian volumes greater than 10 ml compared to only 4.4% in the control group.
  • The proposed cutoff value of ovarian volume to predict PCOS was > 9.4 ml, but 86.7% specificity and 36.4% sensitivity suggest limitations.
  • Diagnosis of PCOS requires the combination of ovarian volume assessment along with clinical, biochemical, and hormonal evaluations.
