PCOS Cardiometabolic Risk Index: Explanation and Clinical Context The PCOS Cardiometabolic Risk Index (PCRI) is a composite score designed to estimate the risk of metabolic and cardiovascular complications in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). It integrates age, BMI, waist circumference, fasting glucose, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol into a single predictive metric. Higher scores indicate greater cardiometabolic risk, guiding clinicians in early intervention and personalized management strategies for women with PCOS.
