Popis: Purpose: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), the most common endocrine disorder in reproductive-age women, is characterized by androgen excess and ovarian dysfunction. PCOS women have an increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome components, such as an increased blood pressure (BP), insulin resistance (IR), and obesity. Metformin is the most frequently prescribed insulin sensitizer in women with PCOS. Recent evidence suggests that Black Women (BW) with PCOS have an increased incidence of cardiometabolic (CM) risk factors compared to their White Women (WW) counterparts. It is unclear if metformin has a different effect in BW versus WW with PCOS. Thus, the aim of the current study is to elucidate whether the effect of metformin on CM risk factors is different between BW with PCOS and WW with PCOS at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC). Hypothesis: CM risk factors will be more pronounced in BW with PCOS compared to WW with PCOS. There will be no difference in the impact of metformin on CM risk factors when comparing BW with PCOS to WW with PCOS. Methods Used: UMMC de-identified patient data from 2013-2022 were obtained from electronic medical records (EMR) using UMMC's Research Data Warehouse. The ICD-10 code of PCOS, E28.2, and code for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), E11.9, were used to filter patients and encounters. Metformin users were then identified. CM risk factors were analyzed and compared between BW and WW with PCOS. Data are expressed as averages and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, with p No external funding sources This is the full abstract presented at the American Physiology Summit 2023 meeting and is only available in HTML format.
