“…With a cut-off value of 6.4 mL, the mean ovarian volume had a satisfactory sensitivity of 81.0% and a specifi city of 85.6% in Chinese patients of PCOS. With a cut-off value of 10, the 2-9 mm follicle number had an even better sensitivity of 85.2% and a specifi city of 88.8% [21]. In this study serum AMH measurement had a relatively poor sensitivity of 61.7% and a specifi city of 70% with a cut-off value of 8 ng/mL.…”

“…Serum AMH measurement in adolescents might be less useful for diagnosing PCOS than in adults. Our previous study had analyzed the diagnostic value of follicle number and ovarian volume in Chinese patients with PCOS [21]. With a cut-off value of 6.4 mL, the mean ovarian volume had a satisfactory sensitivity of 81.0% and a specifi city of 85.6% in Chinese patients of PCOS.…”

“…Th ere is little report about adolescent patients, especially in Chinese. Our previous studies have shown Chinese patients of PCOS have lower prevalence of hyperandrogenism, obesity and insulin resistance compared with data from studies of other races [19][20][21]. It is wondered whether serum AMH in Chinese patients of PCOS is similar to American and European studies.…”

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of polycystic ovarian morphology in the hormonal and metabolic features of the "classical" phenotypes of PCOS. Design:The study included 1275 Caucasian women with PCOS with a mean age of 24.25 ± 5.79 years and a mean BMI of 26.80 ± 7.03 kg/m 2 . Diagnosis of PCOS was based on the 2003 Rotterdam ESHRE/ASRM-Sponsored PCOS Consensus criteria. Two phenotypes, matched for age and BMI were compared: Phenotype I (n=620) which included PCOS women with biochemical hyperandrogenemia and/or clinical hyperandrogenemia, chronic anovulation and polycystic ovarian morphology on ultrasound (PCO). Phenotype II (n=400) which included PCOS women with biochemical hyperandrogenemia and/or clinical hyperandrogenemia and chronic anovulation, without PCO. These phenotypes were further subdivided in normal weight and obese PCOS women.Results: PCOS women of Phenotype I had higher LH/FSH ratio (p<0.001), higher Testosterone (p<0.01), Δ4 Androstenedione (p<0.001) and 17-OH progesterone levels (p<0.001), and higher Free Androgen Index (FAI) values (p<0.01) compared to Phenotype II. With the exception of fasting glucose levels, all other indices of insulin resistance (fasting insulin, fasting glucose/insulin ratio, QUICKI and HOMA2IR) document an association between Phenotype I and greater insulin resistance in overweight/obese PCOS women. Conclusions:In conclusion, in "classical" phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), polycystic ovarian morphology is associated with more severe hyperandrogenemia and deranged LH/FSH ratio. In overweight/obese PCOS subjects, PCO is positively correlated with insulin resistance.
