MHR was significantly different across the four PCOS phenotypes, with the highest value in phenotype A (13.7 ± 4.9) and the lowest in phenotype D (9.0 ± 1.9).

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

Overview

MHR may mark phenotype-specific inflammation in PCOS; leaves open its value for CV risk stratification in observational data.

Structured PICO

Does the monocyte-to-HDL ratio (MHR) differ across different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?

P
Population
186 women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and 59 age-matched healthy women (Turkish women)
I
Intervention
PCOS phenotypes (A, B, C, D) based on NIH Expert Panel criteria
C
Comparator
Non-PCOS control group and comparison between different PCOS phenotypes
O
Outcome
Monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR)surrogate

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.
