Optimizing Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Clinic Flow: A Prospective Evaluation of Artificial Intelligence Scribe Technology.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most prevalent endocrine disorders affecting the women of reproductive age. Based on prevalence estimates, PCOS affects 6%–18% of women worldwide . Among Pakistani women, a surprisingly high prevalence of 52% has been documented . PCOS is diagnosed when at least two of the three Rotterdam criteria are met, and it is characterized by a range of distinct phenotypes:(i) hirsutism, acne, seborrhea, and alopecia accompanied by clinical hyperandrogenism and/or high levels of circulating testosterone; (ii) ultrasound examination to determine whether ovarian cysts are present; and (iii) oligo-amenorrhea with oligo-anovulation . Pharmacological Treatment options commonly prescribed for managing PCOS include Metformin, Oral Contraceptive Pills, and Anti-androgens. Additionally medications like thiazolidinediones (TZDs), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, insulin-sensitizing agents, aromatase inhibitors (AIs), and antioxidants may also be used . Among all, Lifestyle modifications form the cornerstone of PCOS management . Adherence to prescribed medication regimen is an important factor to achieve optimal therapeutic benefits. Non-adherence to treatment results in severe complications such as hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular diseases, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and infertility . Therefore, long-term adherence to recommended medications and lifestyle modifications are necessary for the optimal management of PCOS and reduction of clinical problems. Studies indicate that adherence to lifestyle modifications, such as diet and physical activity, is often challenging for patients but remains crucial for achieving expected treatment outcomes .
