Meta-analysis reveals significantly elevated odds of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, highlighting the need for routine liver evaluations.

Key Points

To determine whether women diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome are at an increased risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Searched databases including MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, Google Scholar, SID, IranMedex, and MagIran from January 1985 to June 2013 without language restrictions.
Identified and pooled data from seven eligible studies comparing the prevalence of NAFLD between women with PCOS and healthy controls using odds ratios and chi-squared heterogeneity tests.
NAFLD prevalence was significantly higher in women with PCOS compared to healthy controls, with a pooled OR of 3.93 (95% CI: 2.17 to 7.11).
Substantial heterogeneity existed across the seven included studies (73.6%, P = 0.001), with Begg's and Egger's tests demonstrating no significant publication bias.
