摘要
Study Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate methods of initial diagnosis and management of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) among members of the North American Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology (NASPAG) to assess the degree of practice heterogeneity among specialist providers of adolescent care. Design: Cross-sectional, anonymous, internet survey Participants: NASPAG membership (N = 326; Respondents = 127 (39%)) Results: Percentage of respondents who incorporated specific tests at initial diagnosis was highly variable ranging from 87% (thyroid stimulating hormone) to 17% (sex hormone binding globulin). Oral contraceptives and diet modification/exercise were the most common therapies recommended by 98% and 90% of respondents respectively. Conclusion: Considerable practice heterogeneity was present with regards to diagnostic testing for suspected PCOS. Recommendations for first-line therapy were more consistent. Future studies should clarify the clinical utility of specific diagnostic tests for adolescents, such that selection of diagnostic testing is evidence based.
