Key PCOS Terms Used in This Guide
A glossary of the technical terms your GP and the guide will use. Each term links to a deeper explanation in the BloodTrack glossary.
- Rotterdam Criteria
- The diagnostic standard for PCOS endorsed by the international evidence-based guideline (2023). Diagnosis requires two of three criteria: irregular ovulation, biochemical or clinical hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries on ultrasound.
- Hyperandrogenism
- Elevated levels of male-pattern hormones (most commonly testosterone). Can be confirmed biochemically (blood test) or clinically (acne, hirsutism, scalp hair thinning).
- Free Androgen Index (FAI)
- Calculated as (Total Testosterone ÷ SHBG) × 100. The most sensitive Australian biochemical marker for hyperandrogenism. FAI > 5 strongly suggests PCOS.
- HOMA-IR
- Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance. Calculated from fasting glucose and fasting insulin. Used to detect insulin resistance, which is present in 50–70% of women with PCOS regardless of BMI.
- Letrozole-first protocol
- Per the 2023 international guideline, letrozole has replaced clomiphene as the first-line fertility treatment for women with PCOS — higher live-birth rates, fewer side effects.
- RACGP / RANZCOG
- The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) and the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) both endorse the international PCOS guideline.
