The prevalence of GDM was significantly higher in women with PCOS as compared without PCOS group. The prevalence of PIH was two times higher in women with PCOS than that of women without PCOS (31.82% vs. 15.07%; p<0.05). The prevalence of preeclampsia was more among women with PCOS as compared to women without PCOS, but not significant (16.67% vs. 8.22%; p>0.05).
