Metabolic Syndrome has High Prevalence in PCOS.Objective:This present study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of MetS in PCOS patients using the related previously published data.Methods: The present systematic review was based on the Preferred Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The search was done using MeSH keywords in databases of PubMed, biomedcentral.com, Obgyn science and Google scholar search. We used Cochran's Q test and I2 Index to evaluate the relation among the studies and the random effects model was used to combine the results. Article review and discussion were precisely described with their refrences on the end of study.Results: 12 studies including 2600 plus patients with PCOS were included in the final analysis. Total heterogeneity was high . The prevalence of MetS in PCOS patients was estimated to about 70% in total patients with the history of pcos.Conclusion:Considering the prevalence of Metaboolic Syndrome in PCOS patients, diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome in PCOS patients is necessary to reduce the causes and effects on the mortality rate.
