Risk Factors of Ectopic Pregnancy

Completed

Conditions studied: Ectopic Pregnancy

In brief

The purpose of this study is to identify elements of a patient's demographics, history, and clinical presentation that may aid in differentiating between patients with an ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, or normal intrauterine pregnancy. This study will also evaluate serial levels of human chorionic gonadotropin in the serum of these patients, as another way to make the diagnosis.
