A novel predict factor that increases the success rate of methotrexate treatment in fallopian tube pregnancy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

For stable fallopian tube pregnancy (FTP), methotrexate (MTX) therapy is reported to be as effective as laparoscopy. However, some cases would need further treatment, e.g., another dose of MTX or laparoscopy. This study is to investigate the potential factors during the treatment of FTP that may facilitate the prediction of a successful outcome of MTX therapy.

Methods

All FTP cases admitted to the International Peace Maternal and Child Health Hospital (IPMCH), Shanghai, China from January 2016 to December 2017 were reviewed. All patients received a single dose of 50 mg/m² MTX prior to other treatment. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the correlation between clinical parameters and the success rate of MTX treatment.
