Diagnostic Performance of Ovarian Morphology on Ultrasonography across Anovulatory Conditions-Impact of Body Mass Index.

ABSTRACT: The study objectives were to determine whether ovarian morphology can distinguish between women with regular menstrual cycles, normo-androgenic anovulation (NA-Anov), and PCOS and whether body mass index (BMI)-specific thresholds improved diagnostic potential. Women with PCOS (biochemical and/or clinical hyperandrogenism and irregular cycles; N = 66), NA-Anov (irregular cycles without clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism; N = 64), or regular cycles (controls; cycles every 21-35 days in the absence of clinical or biochemical hyperandrogenism; N = 51) were evaluated. Participants underwent a reproductive history, physical exam, transvaginal ultrasound, and a fasting blood sample. Linear regression analyses were used to assess the impact of BMI on ovarian morphology across groups. The
