Abstract
Objetivo: Caracterizar un grupo de mujeres universitarias costarricenses con
síndrome de ovario poliquístico mediante una evaluación clínica y bioquímica.
Métodos: Estudio observacional-descriptivo en que participaron 160 mujeres
costarricenses con edades comprendidas entre los 17 y 28 años con el fin
de identificar posibles asociaciones al síndrome de ovario poliquístico. Se
estudiaron algunas de sus características físicas y parámetros clínicos, como
sobrepeso, acné, hirsutismo, abortos espontáneos y trastornos menstruales,
junto con parámetros bioquímicos, tales como glucosa, perfil lipídico, insulina,
testosterona total y TSH, entre otros. Los datos fueron analizados aplicando
estadística descriptiva. La prueba t-Student se utilizó para comparar los
promedios de las variables con distribución normal, mientras que la prueba de
Mann-Whitney se realizó para variables no paramétricas. Un valor de p < 0,05
se consideró como significativo. Los coeficientes de Spearman se utilizaron para
determinar los niveles de correlación entre las diferentes variables del estudio.
Resultados: Las mujeres con síndrome de ovario poliquístico presentaron
valores significativamente más altos en relación con las mujeres sin el síndrome
en las variables de peso (p = 0,003), el índice de masa corporal (p < 0,001), así
como de la concentración sanguínea de testosterona total (p < 0,001), LDLcolesterol
(p = 0,020), triglicéridos (p < 0,001) y el índice de Castelli (p < 0,001).
La concentración de HDL-colesterol (p < 0,001) fue más alta en las mujeres sin
el síndrome. Además, se observó una proporción más alta de mujeres con el
síndrome que presentaban resistencia a la insulina (p = 0,007), la relación LH/
FSH > 2,8 (p = 0,009), hirsutismo (p = 0,001), trastornos menstruales (p=0,029) y
obesidad (p=0,014) en comparación con las mujeres sin el síndrome.
Conclusiones: El hiperandrogenismo, la resistencia a la insulina, la concentración
de lípidos alterada e índices de Castelli elevados son los parámetros bioquímicos
más prevalentes en la muestra de mujeres costarricenses con síndrome de
ovario poliquístico. La ejecución de proyectos con perfiles bioquímicos más
amplios junto con pruebas de ultrasonido son los nuevos retos para futuras
investigaciones del síndrome de ovario poliquístico en Costa Rica.
Iim: Describe some clinical findings and biochemical characterization of a sample of Costa Rican university women with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Methods: Observational-descriptive study where 160 Costa Rican women between 17 and 28 years old participated. Some physical characteristics and clinical parameters (overweight, acne, hirsutism, spontaneous abortions, menstrual disorders, among others) and biochemical parameters (glucose, lipid profile, insulin, total testosterone, TSH, among others) associated with the syndrome were studied. Data was analyzed applying descriptive statistics. The t-Student test was used to compare the means of the variables with normal distribution, while the Mann-Whitney test was performed for non-parametric variables. A p value < 0.05 was considered significant. Spearman’s coefficients were used to determine the levels of correlation between the different study variables. Results: Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome presented significantly higher values in relation to women without the syndrome in the variables of weight (p = 0.003), body mass index (p < 0.001), as well as blood total testosterone concentration (p < 0.001), LDL-cholesterol (p = 0.020), triglycerides (p < 0.001) and the Castelli index (p < 0.001). HDL-cholesterol concentration (p < 0.001) was significantly higher in women without the Syndrome. In addition, there was a significantly higher proportion of women with the syndrome who had insulin resistance (p = 0.007), LH/FSH ratio > 2.8 (p = 0.009), hirsutism (p = 0.001), menstrual disorders (p=0.029) and obesity (p=0.014) compared to women without the syndrome. Conclusions: Hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, altered lipid concentrations and high Castelli Indexes are the most prevalent biochemical parameters in the sample of Costa Rican women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. The execution of projects with broader biochemical profiles together with ultrasound tests are the new challenges for future research on Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in Costa Rica.
