233. Characteristics of Adolescents With PCOS As Diagnosed By The Rotterdam Criteria
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is challenging to diagnose during adolescence.

This retrospective study aimed to assess and compare clinical, metabolic, and hormonal characteristics of adolescents diagnosed with PCOS who required ultrasound for diagnosis according to Rotterdam criteria to those of adolescents who did not.
