Epidemiología del síndrome de ovario poliquístico en Chillán-Chile

Journal Title: Revista ANACEM - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 1

Abstract

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine-metabolic dysfunction highly prevalence, defined by menstrual alterations, hirsutism, and polycystic ovarian morphologically. Objetive: To describe the clinical characteristics of patients with PCOS treated at the “Consultorio adosado de especialidades” (CAE) of the Hospital Clínico Herminda Martin (HCHM) of Chillán. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study of 116 patients with a diagnosis of PCOS (ICD-10 E28.2), of childbearing age, with a diagnosis made at the HCHM CAE during 2010 and 2014. Demographic and clinical data were obtained and then tabulated in Excel for your analysis. Results: The most frequent age groups were patients aged 15 to 19 years. In most cases, the consultation was due to menstrual alterations and hirsutism. A total of 33.6% of the patients were classical PCOS. 72.4% had insulin resistance (IR) and 40% were overweight. Discussion: Its strong relationship with metabolic syndrome leads us to consider the possibility of applying primary prevention measures in the population groups that have been characterized as endocrine-metabolic disease and treated in an integral way by a multidisciplinary group. It is suggested to conduct a systematic study in patients at risk, including PCOS in specific programs for noncommunicable diseases (preventive medical examination of adolescents and adults).
