The percentage of women with hemoperitoneum at the beginning of MTX<\/jats:styled-content> treatment was compared between two groups: those whose treatment was successful and those whose treatment failed. The rate of hemoperitoneum in each group and its value in predicting the outcome of MTX<\/jats:styled-content> treatment of EP<\/jats:styled-content> were assessed<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>MTX<\/jats:styled-content> treatment was successful in 69 of 93 (74%) cases. The percentage of women with hemoperitoneum at the beginning of treatment was significantly higher in women in whom MTX<\/jats:styled-content> treatment failed as compared to those in whom it was successful (15\/24 (62.5%)<\/jats:italic> vs<\/jats:italic> 17\/69 (24.6%)<\/jats:italic>; P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001). The likelihood of requiring surgery following treatment with MTX<\/jats:styled-content> was higher in women with hemoperitoneum (odds ratio, 5.1; 95% CI<\/jats:styled-content>, 1.74\u201315.14). Study of the diagnostic performance of hemoperitoneum in predicting the need for surgical treatment after MTX<\/jats:styled-content> treatment revealed a sensitivity of 0.63, a specificity of 0.76, a positive predictive value of 0.47 and a negative predictive value of 0.85<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>The presence of hemoperitoneum appears to be a risk factor for MTX<\/jats:styled-content> treatment failure. It is important to inform women as fully as possible about the risk of such failure. Nonetheless, the predictive value of this sign is insufficient for either routinely excluding women with hemoperitoneum from MTX<\/jats:styled-content> treatment or omitting post\u2010treatment monitoring.
