Real‐World Metabolic Improvements in Women With and Without Polyendocrine Metabolic Syndrome via a Multidisciplinary Telehealth Care Platform

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate metabolic outcomes in women with and without Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS, formerly Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS))) receiving multidisciplinary care through a women's health telehealth platform that combines physician and registered dietitian support. METHODS: Retrospective cohort analysis of 919 women with BMI ≥ 25 initiating care in 2024, with ≥ 6 months follow-up (mean 9.6 months). Participants included 557 with PMOS and 362 without. Outcomes extracted from the electronic health record (EHR) included change in weight, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, fasting insulin, fasting glucose, ALT, AST and total cholesterol between baseline and last measured value. Linear regression models adjusted for baseline values of each outcome, age, BMI, race/ethnicity and follow-up time. RESULTS: Significant improvements were observed across all metabolic markers for the group overall: HOMA-IR (-14.0%), fasting insulin (-15.6%), fasting glucose (-13.0%), HbA1c (-6.2%), ALT (-21.2%), AST (-25.5%), total cholesterol (-8.0%) and weight (-4.9%). PCOS status was not associated with differential improvement in any outcome after adjustment. GLP-1 receptor agonist use was associated with greater weight loss; however, improvements were also observed in the no-medication group. CONCLUSIONS: Women with PCOS achieved metabolic improvements equivalent to those without PMOS through a multidisciplinary telehealth model despite presenting with a more adverse metabolic profile at baseline.
