Adolescent PCOS Prevalence and Clinical-Hormonal Profile, 2019-2022

289 teenage patients referred for hyperandrogenism and/or menstrual disorders between 2019 and 2022 were studied. The research by Karolina Jakubowska-Kowal, published in 2026, found PCOS prevalence ranged from 46% to 59% depending on the diagnostic criteria applied. The dataset includes clinical and hormonal parameters used to compare groups defined by different diagnostic standards.

Use Cases

• Compare PCOS prevalence rates based on different diagnostic criteria (Ibanez, Peña, Rotterdam) mentioned in the description
• Analyze correlations between clinical hyperandrogenism, biochemical hyperandrogenism, and hormonal parameters like LH and testosterone
• Model the association between menstrual abnormalities (e.g., oligomenorrhea >45 days) and PCOS diagnosis in adolescents
• Investigate the relationship between ovarian volume and PCOS across different diagnostic definitions

Strengths

• Study includes 289 patient records from a defined period (2019-2022)
• Compares four distinct diagnostic groups (three PCOS criteria and one non-PCOS group)
• Reports specific prevalence ranges (46% to 59%) and statistical significance for key hormonal parameters

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect temporal and referral bias inherent to the single-site observational study
