AB  - BACKGROUND: Current evidence concerning the association between persistent 
      organic pollutants (POPs) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is inconsistent. 
      The aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the 
      role of POPs in PCOS. METHODS: Databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of 
      Science, and CNKI will be searched to identify qualified studies. All qualified 
      studies regarding the association between POPs and PCOS will be included. The 
      primary outcome of the present study is POPs levels in serum of subjects. Pooled 
      analysis with corresponding 95% confidence intervals will be performed. RESULTS: 
      The comprehensive analysis and quantitative assessment will provide a better 
      understanding of POPs concentrations in patients with PCOS. CONCLUSION: This 
      meta-analysis and systematic review will generate evidence of the association 
      between POPs and PCOS. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO CRD42019126373.
