According to recent research from the United States, "To determine whether yolk sac on transvaginal ultrasound was an independent predictor for single-dose methotrexate failure for tubal ectopic pregnancies. Seven hundred sixty-six consecutive methotrexate-treated ectopic pregnancy patients were reviewed."
"After excluding 25 oral and 97 multidose methotrexate patients, 18 cornual, 4 cervical pregnancies, and 63 patients with ectopic cardiac activity, 559 study patients remained. Variables studied included age, gravidity, parity, previous ectopic pregnancy, serum human chorionic gonadotropin and progesterone levels, ectopic size, ectopic volume, body surface area, and yolk sac presence. Sixteen of 73 (21.9%) patients with yolk sac failed treatment vs 36 of 486 (7.4%) patients without yolk sac (P = .0003). Other significant variables on single factor analysis were previous ectopic (P = .0005), human chorionic gonadotropin (P
