Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a highly prevalent disorder with substantial burden, yet global epidemiological data remains limited.
Objectives: To estimate the PCOS prevalence globally.
Materials And Methods: We systematically searched PubMed and Embase for PCOS studies in unselected populations through February 2024.
Objective: The ongoing pandemic of obesity is associated with an increase of weight loss surgeries in women of reproductive age. This study was conducted to review clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for managing pregnancy following metabolic-bariatric surgery.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature search of all CPGs that covered the management of pregnancy following metabolic-bariatric surgery, 2010 through 2022, and that were published in English.
Background: The control of blood pressure (BP) is a challenge in diabetic patients and is associated with adverse outcomes of diabetes. In this systematic review and metaanalysis, we investigated the BP control rate among hypertensive diabetic patients in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) countries.
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases up to January 2023 for observational studies on BP control among hypertensive diabetic patients in all EMR countries.
Introduction: Insulin-derived amyloidosis (AIns), a skin complication in patients with diabetes, causes impaired insulin absorption. This systematic review aims to get a better understanding of this overlooked condition.
Methods: Comprehensive literature searches were performed in Scopus, PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases until June 17, 2023.
Article Synopsis
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition affecting women's reproductive and metabolic health, and its relationship with global obesity rates is unclear.
- A systematic review analyzed data from 58 studies involving nearly 86,000 adults to explore this connection, finding a borderline association between PCOS and obesity, especially when applying certain diagnostic criteria.
- The research suggests that a rise in obesity rates correlates with an increase in PCOS prevalence, highlighting the need for more high-quality studies to better understand this association.
