The Prognostic Value of Tubal Patency Test After Medical Treatment of an Ectopic Pregnancy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background : Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is defined as the abnormal implantation of the blastocyst outside the uterine endometrium. The most common site of implantation is the Fallopian tube. The effect of different management strategies on subsequent fertility following tubal ectopic pregnancy is unknown. Some women who have had ectopic pregnancies will have difficulty becoming pregnant again. The aim of this study is to evaluate the tubal patency after successful medical treatment of an un-ruptured tubal ectopic pregnancy with systemic methotrexate (MTX). M ethods: This is an observational retrospective study carried out on 72 women diagnosed as un-ruptured tubal ectopic pregnancy. Systemic treatment with a single dose methotrexate (50 mg/m 2 intramuscularly) was used for 32 women and 40 cases underwent surgery. Hysterosalpingography (HSG) was performed on 30 patients (successfully managed with methotrexate) and 40 cases that underwent unilateral salpingectomy (as initial treatment). Results: The medical treatment with single dose MTX for EP was effective (93.8%) as a primary treatment. In the MTX group, the HSG findings from the ipsilateral tube showed that 83.3% the diseased tubes were open and 16.7% were obstructed. The contralateral tube was patent in 93.3% and obstructed in 6.7%. In salpingectomy group the contralateral tube was patent in 82.5% and obstructed in 17.5%. Conclusion: For an un-ruptured tubal EP, the medical treatment with MTX is effective. Routine HSG following medical treatment does not seem necessary but might be considered in selected risk cases. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.4021/jcgo48w

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
