title: Endometrial thickness predicts endometrial hyperplasia in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.
abstract: Body mass index is predictive of sonographic endometrial stripe thickness, which in turn is predictive of endometrial hyperplasia in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. For every 1-mm increase in endometrial stripe, the odds ratio of hyperplasia increased by 1.48 (95% confidence interval, 1.04-2.10).
