Abstract |
Background |
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a serious endocrinal disorder in women of reproductive age. Hormonal treatment with oral contraceptives, containing estrogen (ethinyl-estradiol, EE) with progestogen (drospirenone, DRSP) or (chlormadinone acetate, CMA), has improved symptoms and biomarkers of PCOS.
Objective |
The aim of the present meta-analysis is to compare the effects of EE/DRSP versus EE/CMA on the endocrinal features of women with PCOS.
Data sources |
Several electronic databases were searched for combinations of the following relevant MeSH terms were used: (ethinyl-estradiol OR EE) AND (drospirenone OR DRSP) AND (chlormadinone acetate OR CMA) AND (polycystic ovary syndrome).
Methods |
Records were screened for eligible studies and data were extracted to an online data extraction form. Outcomes of Ferryman–Gallwey score (FGS), body mass index, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), free androgen index, sex hormone-binding globulin, delta-4-androstenedione (A) and total testosterone levels (T) were pooled as weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) in a fixed effect meta-analysis model.
Results |
Three RCTs (EE/DRSP: n = 98 and EE/CMA: n = 87) were pooled in the analysis. The overall effect favoured EE/DRSP over EE/CMA in reducing (A) levels after three months (WMD -0.63; 95% CI [-0.94, -0.32], P < 0.001), FGS after six months (WMD -0.44; 95% CI [-0.99, -0.19], P = 0.0006), and total (T) after three months (WMD -0.12; 95% CI [-0.23, -0.01], P = 0.03).
Conclusions |
EE/DRSP showed a more potent effect than EE/CMA in the reduction of FGS after six months, (A) levels and (T) levels after three months in patients with PCOS.
