Meanwhile indications and clinical effectiveness of HFNOT in patients with hypercapnic (Type II) RF remain controversial. The aim of our study was to evaluate the outcomes of primary HFTNOT in patients with hypoxemic and hypercapnic RF.

- The study investigates the high prevalence of hyperandrogenism (HA) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) among female-to-male transsexuals (FMT) prior to starting cross-sex hormone therapy.
- Results show that nearly half of the participants had HA, with over a third diagnosed with PCOS, while more than a third exhibited signs of metabolic syndrome, which increases cardiovascular risks.
- The findings indicate a concerning association between HA, PCOS, and early signs of metabolic syndrome, highlighting potential long-term health implications for FMT individuals.

Due to its high prevalence, different organizations have tried to simplify the diagnosis of this entity proposing practical, evidence based and applicable criteria. This effort of simplifying is being unworthy because of multiple errors published in recent articles (wrong cut-off points, incomplete figures, etc.
