The (Spearman) correlation coefficients (r) are given in the table. p values: p values denoting the outcomes of correlation of the parameters of biochemical patients with PCOS and control. p<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. CRP – C-reactive protein; TNF-α – tumor necrosis factor-α; IL-1 – interleukin-1; IL-6 – interleukin-6; NLR – neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio; TAG – triglyceride; Total-C – total cholesterol; FSH – follicle-stimulating hormone; LH – luteinizing hormone; E2 – Estradiol2; F.test – free testosterone; BMI – Body Mass Index; WHG – waist-to-hip ratio; FG score – Ferriman-Gallowey score; Fasting B.G. – fasting blood glucose.
