Regarding the surgical burden and no significant changes in serum levels of human chorionic gonadotropin i n patients treated with therapeutic curettage and concurrent methotrexate treatment, curettage should be performed in selected patients or in patients with difficulty in diagnosis.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of therapeutic curettage and adjuvant methotrexate treatments on follow up human chorionic gonadotropin levels in ectopic pregnancy.

Özet

In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of therapeutic curettage and adjuvant methotrexate treatments on follow up human chorionic gonadotropin levels in ectopic pregnancy. Twenty-five patients who received methotrexate treatment out of 57 pati ents with a diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy and who completed their treatment at the hospital between 2016-2017 were included in the study. With random grouping, curettage was performed in 14 patients and was not performed in 11 patients. The percentage of changes in serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels between days 1 and 4, days 4 and 7, and days 1 and 7 were compared. Comparing two groups, there was no statistically significant difference between the percentages of changes in serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels. Early diagnosis and treatment of ectopic pregnancy, an important cause of maternal mortality in the first trimester, is crucial. Regarding the surgical burden and no significant changes in serum levels of human chorionic gonadotropin i n patients treated with therapeutic curettage and concurrent methotrexate treatment, curettage should be performed in selected patients or in patients with difficulty in diagnosis.
