Objective:

To identify trends and key research areas in PCOS and pregnancy outcomes and synthesize effective treatment strategies for PCOS-related infertility.

Key Findings:
  • 410 WOSCC publications and 45 PubMed clinical trials were included.
  • China and the United States were the leading contributors to the research.
  • Insulin resistance and metformin were identified as current research hotspots.
  • Emerging frontiers include neonatal outcomes, metabolic syndrome, and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
  • Shanghai Jiao Tong University had the greatest output, while the University of Adelaide was the most cited institution.
Interpretation:

This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the research landscape in PCOS and pregnancy outcomes, highlighting significant areas for future investigation and their implications.

Limitations:
  • The analysis is limited to English-language publications.
  • Exclusion of non-research articles may overlook relevant insights.
  • Language restrictions may introduce bias in the findings.
Conclusion:

Future research should focus on insulin resistance mechanisms, metabolic syndrome management, and optimizing assisted reproductive technologies, including frozen embryo transfer and letrozole combination therapies.
