Study Question: Is acute haemoperitoneum that is managed conservatively a precursor of deep endometriosis?
Summary Answer: Our study provides evidence to suggest that acute haemoperitoneum may lead to the development of deep endometriosis in a significant proportion of cases.
What Is Known Already: A recent pilot study was the first to suggest that acute haemoperitoneum could be a precursor of deep endometriosis. However, the sample size was small, and the follow-up was not standardized owing to unknown rates of clot absorption and development of endometriosis.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers are investigating the effectiveness of a new DNA methylation test (WID-qEC) compared to traditional imaging tests for detecting uterine cancer in women experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding.
- The study, called EPI-SURE, involved women aged 45 and older attending a gynecological diagnostic center and collected cervicovaginal samples alongside standard imaging tests.
- Out of 474 potential participants, 399 women were included for analysis, and initial findings highlighted that approximately 47% received recommendations for further examination based on the imaging tests.
Background: Tubal ectopic pregnancy (TEP) is a common gynaecological emergency. Several medical and surgical treatment options exist, but it is not clear which is the safest and most effective treatment.
Objectives: To compare the effectiveness of expectant, medical and surgical treatment options for TEP using a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Introduction: Ectopic pregnancy is an important health condition which affects up to 1 in 100 women. Women who present with mild symptoms and low serum human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) are often treated with methotrexate (MTX), but expectant management with close monitoring is a feasible alternative. Studies comparing the two treatments have not shown a statistically significant difference in uneventful resolution of ectopic pregnancy, but these studies were too small to define whether certain subgroups could benefit more from either treatment.
