Conservative management in retained product of conception: a retrospective cohort study
ULTRASOUND IN OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY(2023)
摘要
To evaluate the clinical course of Retained Products of Conception (RPOC) managed with expectant management or with contraceptive therapy. retrospective cohort study conducted at Policlinico di Modena (2018- 2022) including women with sonographic diagnosis of RPOC and managed conservatively with serial ultrasound (US) up to resolution. All women were offered contraceptive therapy (estroprogestin or progestin-only) but only some of them accepted. The type of management (expectant vs. medical management) was recorded and a comparison between them was made. Continuous variables were presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD), binary or categorical variables were presented as number and percentage. Continuous variables were compared using T-test student while the Chi-square test or Fisher's test were used for categorical variable. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Twenty-four patients were included: 5 (20.8%) after first trimester termination of pregnancy (TOP) (2 and 3 with surgical and pharmacological TOP respectively) and 19 (79.2%) after delivery (14 after vaginal delivery and 5 after Caesarean section). 7 deliveries were complicated by early PPH. The mean interval from the first assessment to the last one was of 123.04 days (±SD 117,3). All women were offered contraceptive therapy; 66.7% (16/24) accepted. Table 1 shows the comparison between expectant vs. contraceptive treatment: no differences in terms of length of follow-up, need for readmission/ surgery or vaginal blood loss requiring A&E evaluation was found. Conservative management of RCOPs may include contraceptive therapy without additional complications compared to expectant management.
