Abstract Background The hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy (HDCP) is common in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), yet the potential influencing factors remained unclear. We aimed to assess the independent risk factors of HDCP in patients with PCOS, to provide clinical evidences for the management of PCOS. Methods Pregnant PCOS patients treated in our hospital from June 1, 2018 to November 30, 2020 were approached. The personal and clinical characteristics of patients with and without gestational hypertension were evaluated. Logistic regressions were conducted to identify the independent risk factors of HDCP, Receiver operating characteristics (ROC)curve analysis was conducted to evaluate the predicting value. Results A total of 188 PCOS patients were included, the incidence of HDCP in patients with PCOS was 27.66 %. There were significant differences in the age, BMI, family history of hypertension, the history of adverse pregnancy, history of contraceptive pills use and family history of HDCP between HDCP group and no-HDCP group (all p < 0.05), and there were no significant differences in the family history of diabetes, multiple pregnancy and long-term smoking history between HDCP group and no-HDCP group (all p > 0.05). Age ≥ 27y(OR2.048, 95 %CI1.121 ~ 3.208), BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2(OR1.463, 95 %CI1.069 ~ 2.011), family history of hypertension(OR2.129, 95 %CI1.093 ~ 3.042), the history of adverse pregnancy(OR2.435, 95 %CI1.264 ~ 4.085), history of contraceptive pills use(OR3.806, 95 %CI1.184 ~ 6.102), family history of HDCP(OR1.934, 95 %CI1.016 ~ 2.774) were the independent risk factors of HDCP in patients with PCOS (all p < 0.05). ROC curve analyses indicated that those factors had good predictive value on HDCP in PCOS patients. Conclusions The incidence of HDCP in PCOS patients is relatively high. In clinical practice, medical workers should carry out early prevention and intervention measures for these risk factors to reduce the incidence of HDCP.

Objective We aimed to investigate whether patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and a family history (FH) of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at increased risk of endocrinological and metabolic abnormalities, and whether this risk differs between first-degree and second-degree relatives, and between maternal and paternal transmission. Methods A total of 680 patients with PCOS were enrolled in this retrospective, single-center study. Endocrine and glycolipid metabolism parameters were compared. Results The free androgen index (FAI), and levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS), homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), total cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly higher, whereas sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels were significantly lower in patients with PCOS and a FH of T2DM. In patients with PCOS with a FH of T2DM in first-degree relatives, age and levels of FBG, FINS, and HOMA-IR were significantly higher than those who had a FH of T2DM in second-degree relatives. A maternal history of T2DM was associated with a higher body mass index, FAI, and TG levels, and lower SHBG levels. Conclusions Patients with PCOS and a FH of T2DM have more severe hyperandrogenism and metabolic disorders, especially in those with maternal transmission.

Background: Hypertension is a progressive cardiovascular syndrome arising from complex and interrelated etiologies. Males have slightly higher prevalence than female in most of countries of Southeast-Asian region.Objective: The objective of study is to find out prevalence and the risk factors of hypertension at Sipaghat, Sindhulchowk, Nepal.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Sipaghat of Sindhupalchowk district in May 2016 and 260 persons were selected randomly. Results: The prevalence of hypertension was higher in male (25.4%) than female (17.4%). Mean age of study population was 42.08 years with standard deviation, 15.95 years. Variables namely age group, smoking, alcohol consumption and family history of hypertension were found to be significant at 5 percent level of significance. Alcohol consumption and smokers have more than two times higher chance of getting hypertension compared to alcohol non-consumer and nonsmoker with 95% confidence intervals were 1.08-4.80 and 1.21-6.10, respectively. Persons with family history of hypertension have 3.8 times more chance of getting hypertension compared to no family history of hypertension with 1.89-7.61 of 95% confidence interval.Conclusion: Lifestyle modification reduces blood pressure which prevents or delays the incidence of hypertension. Hypertension can be controlled and prevented by modifying the lifestyle. People should be advised to avoid modifiable risk factors of hypertension like smoking, consumption of alcohol and physical inactivity through health education programs.Nepalese Journal of Statistics, 2017, Vol. 1, 73-82

Abstract OBJECTIVE: The independent risk factors for aneurysm growth were retrospectively investigated in 130 patients with unruptured aneurysms who were followed up by 0.5–T serial magnetic resonance angiography with stereoscopic images. METHODS: Age, sex, site of aneurysm, size of aneurysm, multiplicity of aneurysms, type of circle of Willis, length of follow-up period, cerebrovascular event, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking habit, and family history of subarachnoid hemorrhage were investigated using multiple logistic analysis. RESULTS: Fourteen patients (16 aneurysms) among the 130 patients (159 aneurysms) showed aneurysm growth (10.8%) during follow-up of 10 to 69 months (mean 29.3 ± 10.5 mo). Multiple logistic analysis disclosed that location on the middle cerebral artery (odds ratio [OR] 0.08, P &lt; 0.01), multiplicity of aneurysms (OR 68.5, P &lt; 0.01), aneurysm size of 5 mm or larger (OR 1.17, P = 0.05), and family history of subarachnoid hemorrhage (OR 10.9, P &lt; 0.01) were independent risk factors. CONCLUSION: Location on the middle cerebral artery, multiplicity, aneurysm size of 5 mm or larger, and family history of subarachnoid hemorrhage are independent risk factors for aneurysm growth. These results may help to determine the treatment choice for unruptured aneurysms.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common heterogeneous endocrine disorder. Only few data are available in Bangladesh. The aim of this study was to find out the frequency of PCOS among the students of a medical college in Dhaka city. Materials & Methods: This cross sectional study was done among the 3rd to 5th year students of Ibrahim Medical College. We used Rotterdam criteria (Revised 2003) for diagnosis of PCOS. After taking written consent, a detailed history including menstrual history was taken. Anthropometric measurements including height in cm, weight in kg, waist circumference (WC) were measured. We assessed hyperandrogenism (H) clinically by hirsutism using a modified Ferriman-Gallway (mFG) method. The presence of acne and acanthosis nigricans was also noted. For biochemical hyperandrogenism we did total testosterone estimation. Blood samples was collected between 08.00 and 10.00 am on Days 2-7 of a spontaneous bleeding episode or randomly in the case of amenorrhea after an overnight fast. The circulating levels of total testosterone, levels were measured by Chemiluminescent Immunoassay (Advia Centaur XPTM). Transabdominal USG (Aloka F37) was done by expert radiologist of department of Radiology, BIRDEM. PCOS group was categorized in 4 different phenotypes based on the presence of oligo-anovulation (O), hyperandrogenism (H) and polycystic ovarian morphology (P) : (i) Phenotype A (O+ H+ P), (ii) Phenotype B (O+H), (iii) Phenotype C (H+P) and (iv) Phenotype D (O+P). Results: Out of 73 girls 27(37%) satisfied Rotterdam’s criteria for PCOS. Phenotype B was more common 16(59.3%) followed by A 5(18.5%) then C 3(11.1%) and D 3(11.1%). Hirsutism was found in 24 (88.8%) girls, menstrual disturbance was also present among 24 (88.8%) girls, serum testosterone was elevated in 6(22.2%) girls, 11(40.7%) had USG findings of polycystic ovaries. The mean BMI (24.70 + 3.7) was significantly high (BMI > 23 kg/ m2) among those who had PCOS (59.86%). Acne & acanthosis nigricans was observed 15(55.6%) & 6(22.2%) girls among PCOS respectively which were not statistically significant. Hypothyroidism was observed 7(25.9%) girls with PCOS. Associated family history of DM found in 21(77.8%) girls with PCOS. Family history of PCOS was present in 7(25.9%) girls in PCOS group. The difference were statistically significant (p<0.05) between two groups. Conclusion: Prevalence of PCOS is 37%, which demonstrates that PCOS is an emerging disorder. This draws attention to the issue of early diagnosis, which could provide opportunity to target the group to prevent future morbidities.

Abstract Women with polycystic ovary syndrome are prone to develop gestational diabetes mellitus, a disease which may have significant impact on the postpartum health of both mother and infant. We performed a retrospective cohort study to develop and test a model that could predict gestational diabetes mellitus in the first trimester in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Our study included 520 pregnant women who were referred to the obstetrics department between December 2017 and March 2020 with a diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome. Of these women, 171 were diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus in the second trimester. Univariate analysis revealed that in the first trimester, parity, family history of diabetes, age, body mass index (BMI), testosterone, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol(TC), fasting plasma glucose(FPG), Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1C), diastolic blood pressure(DBP)，and insulin levels were predictive factors of gestational diabetes mellitus (P<0.05). Logistic analysis revealed that TG, age, HbA1C, Insulin, TC, BMI and family history of diabetes were independent risk factors for gestational diabetes mellitus. The area under the ROC curve of the gestational diabetes mellitus risk prediction model was 0.917 in this retrospective analysis, demonstrating the great ability to predict. The sensitivity and specificity of the prediction model were 0.814 and 0.871, respectively. The Hosmer–Lemeshow test also showed a good fit to the test.

Abstract Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is linked with metabolic syndrome, which includes obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and endocrine function in patients with PCOS. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of adolescent PCOS and characteristics associated with PCOS in adolescents in Babol, Iran. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1549 girl high school students aged 16–20 years who were living in Iran. After overnight fasting, blood samples were collected to determine hormones and lipid levels in PCOS patients between the first and fifth days of their menstrual period or withdrawal bleeding. Results: The overall prevalence of adolescent PCOS was 129 (8.3%) (95% CI; 4.0, 12.0). Irregular menstruation was observed in 24.1% of adolescents. A total of 68% of PCOS adolescents had insulin resistance. Compared with non-PCOS adolescents, the OR of adolescent PCOS for family history of hirsutism was 1.53 (95% CI, 1.06–2.20; p=0.024), family history of irregular menstrual cycle was 2.27 (95% CI, 1.56–3.30; p<0.001), menarche age <13 years was 1.95 (95% CI, 1.36–2.81; p<0.001), hirsutism was 1.14 (CI 95%, 1.10–1.17; p<0.001), acne was 5.10 (CI 95%, 3.52–7.40; p<0.001), and wrist circumference was 1.28 (CI 95%, 1.07–1.54; p=0.007). Conclusion: The presenting findings showed the high prevalence of PCOS among Iranian adolescents. Emphasis should be placed on clinical screening in adolescents with high-risk factors, including irregular menstrual, menarche <13 years, hirsutism, acne, high wrist circumference, and paternal obesity to help reduce the risk of developing metabolic disturbance and to find ways to improve long-term health.

Family History Of Hypertension

Despite general belief that hypertension is a disease of adulthood, children and adolescents can also suffer from the condition and may remain unnoticed because of lack of routine measurement of blood pressure. Hypertension in children in Bangladesh has not been well studied. Hence a study was conducted among 6-16 year-old school children of Dhaka city to find out the pattern of blood pressure (BP), prevalence of hypertension and its risk factors in this age group.In this cross sectional study, 1995 apparently healthy children of specified age group were systematically sampled from 6 purposively selected schools in Dhaka city. Their BP were measured methodically under ideal situation. On the same day, their anthropometry were also done by taking height and weight. All of them were given a questionnaire to take home for filling up the family history of hypertension, education, occupation and monthly income of their parents. Those who had BP above 95th centile on three occasions with an interval of two weeks, were diagnosed as hypertensive.Among the 1995 children, male female ratio was 1:1. There were 127-238 children in each single-year age category. Most of their fathers were service holders with 10-14 years of education. Mean systolic BP (SBP) ranged from 88.6 to 113.5 mm Hg, and mean diastolic BP (DBP) from 55.3 to 74.2 mm Hg. Girls had both SBP and DBP more than boys of same age category.Both SBP and DPB have linear relationship with age. There was significant increment in both the systolic and diastolic BP among the female children from 9 to 10 years of age. Similar sudden increment of only systolic blood pressure was seen from 13 to 14 year old male children.This study showed that prevalence of hypertension in school going children of Dhaka city was 0.55% and there was a significant relationship of hypertension with the obesity and family history of hypertension. Among the 11 hypertensive children, 9 (81.8%) had either of the two risk factors, odds ratio (95% CI) being 15.37 (3.31 - 71.37). Key words: Hypertension; school going children.
