Abstract

Objective To investigate the efficacy of mifepristone in combination with two different doses of methotrexate(MTX) in the treatment of nonrupture ectopic pregnancy.Methods Ninety-seven patients with nonrupture ectopic pregnancy were enrolled in the study;Of which,58 patients had serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin(β-HCG)≤2 000 U/L,39 patients had bloodβ-HCG2 0070 U/L.Patients were further divided into two groups according to MTX regimen used: MTX 50mg/m~2 IM once only(Group A) or MTX 20mg IM once daily for 5 days(Group B);mifepristone dose was the same in both groups: 200mg PO once daily for 3 days.Vital signs,serum β-HCG lavels and tranvaginal ultrasonography were monitored after treatment began.Results Among patients with serum β-HCG≤2 000 U/L,cure rate of ectopic pregnancy was 84.6% in Group B and 78.9% in Group A,the difference between two groups was not significant(P0.05).Serum β-HCG levels decreased to normal ranges in 20.2±2.7 days and 13.2±3.4 days,respectively.Among patients with serumβ-HCG2 000 U/L,cure rate of ectopic pregnancy was 65.2% in Group B and 68.7% in Group A.Serum β-HCG levels decreased to normal ranges in 23.2±3.4 days or 16.8±3.1days.Conclusion There was no siffinical differences in efficacy of mifepristone plus two different doses of MTX in the treatment of nonrupture ectopic pregnancy.
