Table 2. Time to resolution and likelihood of surgical excision by pre-treatment hCG.

Time to resolution Rescue surgery
N = 163 N = 53
Baseline hCG (IU/L) n (%) Days, median (IQR) n (%) Odds ratio (95% confidence interval)
<1000 (n = 130) 107 (65.6) 20.0 (13, 29) 23 (43.4) 1 (reference)
≥1000–1999 (n = 44) 36 (22.1) 31.5 (21, 41) b 8 (15.1) 1.03 (0.43, 2.51)
≥2000–2999 (n = 25) 14 (8.6) 34.5 (22, 48) b 11 (20.8) 3.66 (1.47, 9.07)

Time to resolution was calculated excluding 53 cases that required surgery. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using logistic regression. 216 included in analysis.

b denotes P<0.001 compared to pre-treatment hCG <1000.
