Objective: There are a few studies regarding the relationship between psoriasis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
The aim of present study was to identify the prevalence of PCOS in patients with psoriasis.
Material and methods: A retrospective study has been performed upon 1236 patients diagnosed with psoriasis (male 54.13%, female 45.87%) during 2004–2011. The prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been quantified.
Results: Out of the 1236 patients diagnosed with psoriasis, 669 were men (54.13%) and 567 (45.87%) women, 533 women of reproductive age with psoriasis. PCOS was diagnosed in eight patients, representing 1.5% of female patients of reproductive age with psoriasis.
Conclusion: Although previous data have suggested a higher prevalence of PCOS in women with psoriasis one, our data does not support the correlation. Limitations of present study: no healthy age and body mass index (BMI)-matched controls.
