Abstract

Objective: To evaluate percentage changes in serum beta-humanchorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) values between days 0-1, 0-4 and0-7 as an indicator of methotrexate therapy success in extra-uterinepregnancies.Material and Methods: Women with ectopic pregnancy treatedwith single-dose methotrexate therapy between January 2011 andAugust 2012 were assessed. Recorded data were reviewed electroni cally from patient files. All women (n=93) with an ectopic pregnancytreated medically with intramuscular methotrexate (50 mg/m2) wereincluded. The percentage changes in serum β-hCG levels from day 0to 1, day 0 to 4 and day 0 to 7 were calculated for each case.Results: The median β-hCG values decreased between days 0 and4 by 55.8%, and 89.6% of these cases were treatment successes. Themedian initial serum β-hCG values were lower in women with suc cessful treatment, but this was not statistically significant (p=0.11).Conclusion: A decline in serum β-hCG values between days 0 and 4appears to be the best predictor. It would be beneficial to determinewhether a woman with an ectopic pregnancy treated with single dose methotrexate administration will be treated successfully.(J Turkish-German Gynecol Assoc 2013; 14: 125-9)

Özet

Amaç: Ektopik gebeliklerin tedavisinde methotraksat tedavisinin başarısını belirlemede beta-human koryonik gonadotropin (β-hCG) değerlerinin 0-1, 0-4 ve 0-7 günleri arasında yüzde değişimlerini değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2011 ile Agustos 2012 tarihleri arasında ektopik gebelik nedeniyle tanı alan ve tek doz metotreksat tedavisi alan 93 olgu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Elektronik ortamda kaydelilen hastaların dosyalarında bulunan tüm bilgiler incelendi. 0-1, 0-4 ve 0-7 günler arasındaki serum β-hCG seviyelerindeki değişim yüzdeleri her olgu için hesaplandı. Bulgular: Metotreksat tedavisinin başarılı olan olguların %55.8 ve %89.6da ortanca β-hCG değerleri 0 ve 4. günler arasında azalmış olarak bulundu. Tedavi öncesindeki ortanca β-hCG seviyesi tedavinin başarılı olduğu olgularda daha düşük saptanmasına rağmen iki grup arasında istatistiksel olarak bir fark saptanmadı (p=0.11). Sonuç: Serum β-hCG değerlerindeki 0 ile 4. günler arasındaki düşme olması metoteksat tedavisinin başarısını tahmininde en iyi gösterge olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır, ve tek doz metotreksat ile tedavi edilen ekopik gebeliklerin nihai tedavinin başarısını belirlemek yararlı olacakır.
