title: Lack of correlation of ultrasonographically determined ovarian size with age, ponderal index, and hormonal factors in 45 patients with polycystic ovarian disease.
abstract: An ultrasonographic study was performed on 45 patients with polycystic ovarian disease. These patients demonstrated hirsutism, menstrual disturbances, or infertility, as well as an increased LH/FSH ratio and/or evidence of hyperandrogenemia. Ovarian size was not correlated with age, Ponderal Index, serum testosterone, prolactin, androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate or LH/FSH ratio in the 45 subjects studied.
