Overview
The optimal cut-off value for diagnosing hirsutism in the modified Ferriman-Gallwey (mFG) point scale in the Polish population is not known. The correlation of mFG with the severity of androgenetic alopecia in the Ludwig scale (LS) is not known.
The aim of the study is to determine the cut-off point for the diagnosis of hirsutism and to assess the correlation of the mFG scale score with the LS of androgenetic alopecia severity.
Description
The aim of the study is to:
- determine the cut-off point on the mFG scale, indicating hirsutism and to determine the correlation of the severity of androgenetic alopecia on the Ludwig scale with the mFG value in the population of women diagnosed and treated at the University Hospital in Krakow due to anovulation.
- to determine the severity of hirsutism and the severity of androgenetic alopecia in individual PCOS phenotypes.
Inclusion criteria are as follows: i) oligoovulation, i.e. menstrual cycles every <21 days or >35 days, ii) age 18-45 years, iii) diagnosis of PCOS.
Exclusion criteria: none.
To achieve the study objectives, the following will be performed:
- Visual assessment of the severity of hirsutism on the modified Ferriman-Gallwey scale
- Visual assessment of the severity of androgenetic alopecia on the Ludwig scale.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- oligoovulation, i.e. menstrual cycles every <21 days or >35 days
- age 18-45 years
- diagnosis of PCOS.
