- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 10-15% of women and is a leading cause of infertility.
- PCOS is significantly associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), which poses maternal and neonatal risks.
- The study aimed to determine GDM prevalence in women with PCOS and assess infertility treatments as a risk factor.
- GDM prevalence was 32.5% overall, with no significant difference between treated (32.2%) and untreated (32.7%) women.
- Age, BMI, blood pressure, triglycerides, testosterone, and LH were identified as independent risk factors for GDM.
- The study concluded that infertility treatment does not increase GDM risk in women with PCOS.
