Hypertension and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Among Women in a Nationwide Electronic Health Records Dataset in the United States
Using a nationwide EHR dataset, we observed that women with PCOS had substantially higher hypertension prevalence than those without PCOS. PCOS prevalence was lower than previous estimates from global surveys. Following guideline-recommended blood pressure screening for women with PCOS could reduce the risk of long-term cardiovascular disease.
