ASSESSMENT OF OVARIAN ARTERY DOPPLER INDICES IN WOMEN WITH POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME

Anashia Kayani

Abstract


Objectives: The aim of the study is to determine the prevelance of deranged ovarian artery Doppler indices RI and PI in women 's concerning for polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Study design: Descriptive, cross-sectional study.
Settings: Armed Force Institute of Radiology and Imaging Rawalpindi from 30th December 2020 to 29th June 2021
Methodology: A total of 134 women with polycystic ovarian syndrome as per-operational definition of duration >3 months with age range between 18 to 40 and mean age of 28.87 +/- 4.81 years of age were included. Patients with hypothyroidism and increased prolactin levels were excluded. All patients were then undergone transabdominal USG to localize the anatomical location of ovarian arteries in the region of ovarian hilum bilaterally. Pulsed Doppler range gate was set across vessel and average of three waveforms were obtained. Ovarian Doppler artery indices mainly including values of PI (Pulsatality index =S-D/mean)) and RI (Resistive index=S-D/S) were computed. The value of deranged ovarian artery Doppler indices were recorded.
Results: Patients between age range from 18 to 40 years with mean age of 28.87 ± 4.81 years were included. Majority of the patients being n=71 (52.99%) were between 18 to 30 years of age group. Mean time duration of PCOS complians was around 3.64 ± 1.59 years. Mean BMI of the patients was 28.95 ± 2.41 kg/m2. Frequency of deranged ovarian artery Doppler indices in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome was found in 94 (70.15%) patients.
Conclusion: This study concluded that prevalance of deranged ovarian artery Doppler indices RI and PI in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (POCS) is quite high.
