Clinical Scorecard: Utilization of Transvaginal Color Doppler Ultrasound for Early Detection of Threatened Abortion and Its Relationship with Serum β-hCG and CA125 Levels

At a Glance

CategoryDetail
ConditionThreatened Abortion
Key MechanismsTransvaginal color Doppler ultrasound, serum β-HCG, and CA125 levels
Target PopulationPregnant women with threatened abortion
Care SettingObstetrics and Gynecology

Key Highlights

  • TVCDS has 92.86% sensitivity and 100% specificity for diagnosing threatened abortion.
  • Higher corpus luteum PI and RI, and lower β-HCG levels were observed in the observation group.
  • Combined predictive model using PI, β-HCG, and CA125 yielded an AUC of 0.931.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Diagnosis of threatened abortion should be based on clinical criteria and supported by ultrasound findings.

Management

  • Consider the use of TVCDS and serum markers for risk assessment in threatened abortion.

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Monitor serum β-HCG and CA125 levels alongside ultrasound findings.

Risks

  • Indiscriminate pregnancy preservation may increase financial and psychological burdens.

Patient & Prescribing Data

Primiparous women with a single pregnancy at 6–8 weeks of gestation.

No prior treatment with progesterone or HCG for pregnancy preservation before admission.

Clinical Best Practices

  • Utilize TVCDS as an adjunctive tool for assessing embryonic viability.
  • Evaluate corpus luteum blood flow parameters in conjunction with serum indicators.
