Purpose. To establish the prognostic factors of positive LOD response in the treatment of infertility in polycystic ovary syndrome.
Materials and methods. 138 clinical cases of patients selected according to the Rotterdam criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome, hospitalized in the Department of Aseptic Gynecology No. 1 of the Municipal Clinical Hospital No. 1 in Chisinau city, were analyzed.
Results. Age is an important prognostic criterion. The success rate is significantly higher in patients up to 35 years of age (p=0.79, χ²=11.738). Obesity with a BMI >30 kg/m2 represented a lower ovulation rate (p < 0.01) compared to those with a BMI (26 – 29) - 18%. In patients with T > 4.5nmol/l, the ovulation rate is – 13% (p < 0.05) lower than the ovulation rate - 20.2% in women with slightly elevated T 2.6-4.4nmol/l. Patients with normal T < 2.6 represented a higher success rate (p<0.01) (ovulation rate – 42.3%) compared to the other groups. The LH level has a significant impact: patients who responded after LOD had pretreatment LH concentrations ≥ 10IU/l (p=0.29, χ²=20.862, p<0.001) than those who had lower LH < 10IU/l, before LOD.
Conclusions. The success rate of treatment with visual impairment (LOD) correlates with the following criteria: age, duration of infertility, BMI, LH, T.
