OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the management of pregnancy of unknown location in our conditions and to assess possibilities to improve on the performance of it. METHODS: This was a retrospective study of a population of women classified as having PUL. Out- and inpatients were recruited. Their medical history, gynaecological examinations, transvaginal sonography and serum beta-hCG were carried out. Final outcome of each PUL was established. RESULTS: Diagnostic models for variant courses of PUL were established. EPs after PUL were evaluated. The following sonagraphic findings were associated with EP after PUL: blob sign in 4 of 16 cases (25%), bagel sign in 1 case (6.25%), EP established by sonography in 2/16 cases (12.5%) and no valid sonographic structures in 9/16 cases (56.25%). CONCLUSIONS: Conditions for improvement the management of PUL are: implementation of PUL in the clinical practice, creation of EPU, improvent in the evaluation of serum beta-hCG levels and resolution of sonographic examination (Tab. 1, Fig. 1, Ref. 18). |
