Implication

Inflammation may drive cardiometabolic risk in PCOS; leaves open whether targeting it improves outcomes.

Population

Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Outcome

Levels of inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6, IL-18, leucocyte count, adhesion molecules)surrogate

PCOS is associated with low-grade chronic inflammation, which may contribute to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes in this population.

Limitations

It remains to be assessed with long-term studies whether the early presence of markers of chronic inflammation in young women with this syndrome has clinical significance.
