For comparison we selected same number of pregnant women without any features of PCOS. Student t- test or Chi-square test were used to test the difference between PCOS and non PCOS group. Results: Hypertensive disorders in patients with PCOS is statistically significant with p<0.015 and with Relative Risk (95% CI)= 2.0 (1.121-3.567). Significant number of cases with PCOS (69.9%) had diabetes mellitus in pregnancy compared to control group (27.3%).
