DATA SOURCES:
The search was performed in MEDLINE, EMBASE Classic plus EMBASE, PsycINFO, Current Contents-Clinical Medicine and Current Contents-Life Sciences and Web of Science. Cochrane software Review Manager 5.0. 24 was used to construct forest plots comparing risk of abnormal depression scores in those in the PCOS and control groups.
