This diagnostic meta-analysis supports the use of FNPO as the gold standard in the ultrasonographic diagnosis of PCOS in adult women. OV and FNPS provide alternatives if total antral follicle counts cannot be accurately obtained. Our findingssupport the potential for ultrasonographic evidence of PCOM in adolescents as more data becomes available. Subgroup analysis suggests the need to investigate any relative contributions of geographical differences on PCOS phenotypes. These findings may provide the basis for the development of strategies and best practices toward a standardized definition of PCOM and a more accurateultrasonographic evaluation of PCOS.
