This observational case-control study aims to develop a multidimensional risk assessment model for thrombophilia-related abnormalities in females with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The study will analyze endocrine, metabolic, and genetic factors associated with decreased protein C and/or protein S levels in participants with PCOS. The results are expected to provide evidence for risk stratification and individualized management in this population.
Female participants aged 14 to 45 years
Diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
For adult participants, PCOS diagnosed according to the 2023 international evidence-based guideline. After exclusion of related disorders, diagnosis is based on ovulatory dysfunction and/or irregular menstrual cycles together with clinical hyperandrogenism, biochemical hyperandrogenism, or polycystic ovarian morphology on ultrasound where appropriate
For adolescent participants, PCOS diagnosed according to adolescent-specific recommendations. After exclusion of related disorders, both ovulatory dysfunction and/or irregular menstrual cycles and clinical or biochemical hyperandrogenism are required
Confirmed pregnancy
Hematologic disease
History of malignant tumor
Use of medications within 12 weeks before enrollment that may interfere with study assessments
