Abstract
The aim of the study is to compare the pregnancy outcome, especially the prevalence of gestational
diabetes mellitus in a group of patients with PCOS, with a group of healthy weight matched women.
Retrospectively we evaluated the pregnancies of 56 women with PCOS some of who had been treated
for infertility. These were compared with a group of 56 age and weight matched controls. Incidence of
Pregnancy induced hypertension in cases of PCOS was 14.2 % (8/56) , gestational diabetes was 14.2
% (8/56) IHCP 10.7% (6/56) as compared of age and weight matched controls is with the incidence of
PIH was 7.10% (4/56), GDM 3.5% (2/56) IHCP 7% (4/56).The differences in the incidence of GDM &
PIH in two groups was not significant. The outcome of pregnancy in controls & the test groups were not
significant, though numerically found to be heigher.Thereby, suggesting PCOS must be screened for
comorbid conditions like PIH, GDM &IHCP.
