The Predictive Value of Decisive and Soft Ultrasound Criteria for Ectopic Pregnancy Identification in 321 Preoperative Cases

CONCLUSION: We confirm the high accuracy of TVS diagnosis of ECP relying on five clearly different MTs, independent of its location. The blob and bagel sign emerged as important types (75 % of all ECPs). Histology from CUR was needed when ECP could not be visualized in LSC. Assessment of free fluid was essential and accurate in predicting free blood.PMID:33957680 | DOI:10.1055/a-1487-5030
