Lipid accumulation product (LAP) index is a measure of lipid toxicity based on triglyceride and waist circumference. The aim of the current study is to explore the relationship between LAP index and metabolic syndrome (MetS) among women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods

Web of Science, Embase and PubMed online databases were systematically searched for studies investigating the relationship between LAP index and MetS in PCOS. Ten observational studies, including 12 populations with 2957 individuals, were identified for analysis. Mean difference and bivariate diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) meta-analyses were performed.

Results
