Why the study?
To evaluate the degree of inflammation across different polycystic ovary syndrome phenotypes by comparing the monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio.
Does the monocyte-to-HDL ratio (MHR) differ across different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?
Population
186 women with PCOS and 59 age-matched healthy women
Comparison
Non-PCOS controls vs four PCOS phenotypes
Design
Case-control study

MHR may mark phenotype-specific inflammation in PCOS; leaves open its value for CV risk stratification in observational data.
Does the monocyte-to-HDL ratio (MHR) differ across different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?
The monocyte-to-HDL ratio is significantly elevated in the androgenic phenotypes of PCOS, suggesting it may serve as a simple marker for detecting at-risk metabolic phenotypes.
