The diagnostic criteria were redefined at a National Institute of Health(NIH) conference in 1990... The NIH criteria included dysovulation(oligo/anovulation) associated with clinical and/or biological HA [hyperandrogenism] after exclusion of disorders that mimic hyperandrogenemia... 2, record 1, English, - dysovulation
