Abstract

Introduction: The unprecedented rise in the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) among women of reproductive age has raised concerns regarding their well-being. This study aimed to assess the quality of life (QoL) of women with PCOS and its associated factors in a tertiary hospital in Kolkata, India.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2020 to September 2022 at the outpatient clinic of a tertiary hospital in Kolkata. Quantitative data were collected from 189 women with PCOS using a pretested questionnaire and analysed using SPSS version 16.

Results: Around 27.5% of the participants had an overall poor QoL. The psychological domain was the most affected domain, with 42.3% showing a poor QoL. A significant negative correlation was found between the psychological domain score and time since PCOS diagnosis (P=0.001). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that being married (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=2.92) and having an unhealthy waist-hip ratio (AO R= 1.97) were significantly associated with a poor psychological QoL, whereas having an age of ≤24 years (AOR=2.56) and being in below middle socioeconomic class (AOR=2.08) were significantly associated with poor social and environmental QoL, respectively.

Conclusion: PCOS affects all domains of quality of life. Psychological distress is an important comorbidity of PCOS as with any other reproductive and metabolic comorbidities, necessitating the need for mental health screening and treatment among affected women. Healthcare providers should focus on various lifestyle modifications along with drug therapy to prevent the emergence of PCOS as a public health problem.

印度多囊卵巢综合征妇女的健康相关生活质量：西孟加拉邦加尔各答的横断面研究

导言：多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）的患病率在育龄妇女中前所未有的上升，引起了对她们健康的关注。本研究旨在评估印度加尔各答某三级医院多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）患者的生活质量及其相关因素。方法：横断面研究于2020年10月至2022年9月在加尔各答一家三级医院的门诊进行。采用预测问卷对189名多囊卵巢综合征女性进行定量数据收集，并使用SPSS 16进行分析。结果：约27.5%的参与者总体生活质量较差。心理领域是受影响最大的领域，42.3%的人表现出较差的生活质量。心理领域评分与PCOS诊断后的时间呈显著负相关（P=0.001）。多变量logistic回归分析显示，已婚（调整比值比[AOR]=2.92）和腰臀比不健康（AOR= 1.97）与心理生活质量差显著相关，年龄≤24岁（AOR=2.56）和中下层社会经济阶层（AOR=2.08）与社会生活质量差和环境生活质量差显著相关。结论：多囊卵巢综合征影响生活质量的各个方面。与任何其他生殖和代谢合并症一样，心理困扰是多囊卵巢综合征的一个重要合并症，因此有必要对受影响妇女进行心理健康筛查和治疗。医疗保健提供者应关注各种生活方式的改变以及药物治疗，以防止多囊卵巢综合征作为公共卫生问题的出现。
