    Studysummary This study found that global PCOS prevalence in adolescents is 6.3% under new 2023 guideline criteria, compared to 9.8% using Rotterdam criteria; excluding PCOM may prevent over-diagnosis, while recognizing irregular cycles or hyperandrogenism helps avoid under-diagnosis by identifying at-risk individuals for further monitoring.
