Why the study?

Early identification of reliable biochemical markers is needed in PCOS to ensure timely diagnosis and management, preventing long-term complications such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Population

91 women including 49 PCOS cases and 42 age-matched controls (mean age 25.5 ± 5.3 years)

Comparison

PCOS cases vs age-matched controls

Design

Retrospective study

Key result

Elevated serum anti-Müllerian hormone was a strong predictor of polycystic ovary syndrome (OR 1.45), alongside fasting blood sugar and luteinizing hormone.

Overview

AMH-insulin resistance association in adolescent PCOS is hypothesis-generating; leaves open whether it aids early cardiometabolic risk stratification.

Main Result

Odds Ratio: 1.45

p-value: p=<0.001

AMH, LH, and FBS are robust markers for diagnosing PCOS, correlating with insulin resistance and lipid alterations to support early risk stratification.

Limitations

  • Small sample size (n = 91) limits generalizability and may contribute to overfitting in complex models.
  • Cross-sectional/retrospective design precludes causal inferences.
  • Lack of self-reported clinical data limits contextual insights.
  • Small sample size of specific phenotype subgroups (e.g., Group C, n = 5) affects the reliability of median-based trends.

Cite This Study

Kumari et al. (2025) conducted a case-control in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) (n=91). Elevated serum Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) vs. Lower serum AMH levels was evaluated on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis (OR 1.45, p=<0.001). Elevated serum anti-Müllerian hormone was a strong predictor of polycystic ovary syndrome (OR 1.45), alongside fasting blood sugar and luteinizing hormone.
