It requires a life cycle approach from adolescence to menopause. To comprehensively address the wide spectrum of this disorder, a multidisciplinary model of care was established for women with PCOS in a government setting in India with an objective to screen and manage multifaceted manifestations of PCOS and to diagnose and treat associated comorbidities such as metabolic syndrome, dermatologic manifestations and psychological issues.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n A model of integrated multidisciplinary PCOS clinic was implemented for services and research at ICMR-National Institute for Research in Reproductive and Child Health (NIRRCH), Mumbai Maharashtra, India. This is a one-stop holistic centre for managing menstrual, cosmetic, infertility, obesity, metabolic and psychological concerns of women affected with PCOS. Two hundred and twenty six women diagnosed with PCOS using the Rotterdam criteria were screened for metabolic comorbidities with anthropometry, ultrasonography, hormonal and biochemical tests and for psychological problems. Analysis was performed using SPSS version 19.0.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Mean body mass index (BMI) was 26.1 kg\/m2<\/jats:sup>, higher for Asians. Hirsutism was observed in 53.6 per cent of women. Metabolic syndrome was seen among 35.3 per cent and non-alcoholic fatty liver in 18.3 per cent. Psychological issues such as anxiety and depression were identified in majority of the women 31.4 per cent of women could achieve pregnancy at the end of one year of multidisciplinary management.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Interpretation & conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n The results of the present study suggest that an integrated multidisciplinary approach led to the early identification and treatment of comorbidities of PCOS, especially metabolic syndrome. There is hence an urgent need to implement multidisciplinary PCOS clinics in government health facilities.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijmr.ijmr_2497_19","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,26]],"date-time":"2022-12-26T18:01:55Z","timestamp":1672077715000},"page":"449-458","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["An integrated multidisciplinary model of care for addressing comorbidities beyond reproductive health among women with polycystic ovary syndrome in India"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"156","author":[{"given":"Anushree Devashish","family":"Patil","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Research, ICMR-National Institute for Research in Reproductive and Child Health, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rama Ashok","family":"Vaidya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kasturba Health Society-Medical Research Centre, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shahina","family":"Begum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, ICMR-National Institute for Research in Reproductive and Child Health, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanjay L.","family":"Chauhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Operational Research, ICMR-National Institute for Research in Reproductive and Child Health, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Srabani","family":"Mukherjee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Endocrinology.
