BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a complex and heterogeneous disorder affecting various body organs. Menstrual irregularity, anovulation, and many cosmetic issues faced by PCOS patients endanger the essence of being a woman and may have a deleterious impact on their health-related quality of life (HRQOL). This study aimed to assess HRQOL in patients with PCOS and to identify the clinical and socio-demographic factors that might predict poor HRQOL. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the tertiary care hospital in India. A total of 275 women visiting the same setting and diagnosed with PCOS were included. The participants' quality of life was studied using a disease-specific HRQOL questionnaire. Information regarding clinical and socio-demographics was collected using the interviewer schedule. For evaluating the predictors of HRQOL in PCOS subjects, analysis of variance and independent t-test was applied. For subgroup analysis, the post hoc (Gabriel) test was applied. RESULTS: The average total score of HRQOL of the study participants was 125.41 ± 29.1. The lowest weighted mean score was for menstrual problems. Among the socio-demographic variables, age and educational level influenced the HRQOL scores. Highly educated women reported the poorest HRQOL. The analysis of variance also indicated a significant variation in HRQOL scores among body mass index categories [F (4,270) = 5.09, P = |
