Purpose: Several studies suggest a linkage between PCOS and autoimmunity with a high frequency of chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) reported in PCOS patients, however, this subject remains controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of AIT in PCOS women and identify parameters that would serve as independent predictors of AIT.
Methods: Two hundred fifty seven (257) PCOS patients according to the NIH criteria and one hundred forty three (143) controls, women with normal menstrual cycles and without clinical or biochemical hyperandrogenism, were recruited for the study.
