PCOS and ACUTE PeriPartum Risks

We have come a long way from the first report from Stein and Leventhal describing “polycystic ovaries“ on ultrasound in infertile women back in the 1950s. We already well understand that PCOS raises the risk of certain antepartum complications including gestational diabetes, possible macrosomia, and the development of gestational hypertension or preeclampsia. But there actually is scant data on the risk of acute peripartum complications. In this podcast we will summarize a large study just published June 16, 2022 out of the Journal of AHA. We will also cover the importance of distinguishing between “Odds Ratios” and “absolute numbers” for clinical implications. Ready? Let’s dive into acute PeriPartum risks for women with PCOS.
