Article Synopsis
- Early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy (EP) is crucial to prevent life-threatening complications in the first trimester.
- A study compared adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels in 41 patients with unruptured EP to 42 pregnant women with normal fetal development, finding higher ADA levels in the EP group.
- The optimal ADA threshold for predicting EP was identified as 10.95 IU/L, with 56% sensitivity and 67% specificity, indicating that high ADA levels could aid in early diagnosis, but further research is needed.
