Objective The aim of this study was to assess the ability of using beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) serum level as a predictive factor for medical abortion success within 24 h after using misoprostol. Background Serum β-hCG levels decline compared with gestational age when medical abortion is delayed owing to late diagnosis. This makes serum β-hCG more effective in predicting abortion success than gestational age. Kim and colleagues found that β-hCG lower than 40 000 mIU/ml may be a predictive factor of successful abortion within 24 h after misoprostol administration. Patients and methods This is an observational study where serum β-hCG …

Objective The aim was to study the role of serum cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) and ultrasound in early prediction of outcome of threatened miscarriage. Background Threatened abortion is a clinically descriptive term applied to women who are less than 24 weeks of gestation having vaginal spotting or bleeding, closed cervical, and possibly mild uterine cramps. Patients and methods A prospective case–control study was conducted on 80 pregnant women at 6–12 weeks attending the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of El-Menoufia University Hospital Mit-Ghamer General Hospital during the period from January 2017 to February 2018.
