Is it necessary to check β-hCG levels on day 4 after single-dose methotrexate treatment of ectopic pregnancy? A retrospective cohort study
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of the percentage change in serum β-hCG levels from days 1 to 7 for predicting treatment success in patients treated with a single dose of methotrexate for tubal ectopic pregnancy.
