TVS diagnosis of partial MP (PMP) included assessment of fetal parts and\/or empty gestational sac with small cystic spaces adjacent to gestational sac. TVS diagnosis of complete MP (CMP) included assessment of complex, echogenic intra\u2010uterine mass(es) containing multiple small cystic areas. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), positive and negative likelihood ratios (PLR\/NLR) for TVS were reported. Reference standard was histology.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There were 4917 consecutive women who underwent TVS; 1636 underwent surgical curettage for miscarriage. Forty out of 4917 (0.6%) had HMP histologically; 25\/40 (62.5%) had suspected HMP and 15\/40 (37.5%) did not; 24\/40 (60.0%) had CMP of which 19\/24 (79.1%) were suspected on TVS and 5\/24 (20.8%) were not; 16\/40 (40.0%) had PMP of which 6\/16 (37.5%) were suspected on TVS and 10\/16 (62.6%) were not. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, PLR and NLR of pre\u2010operative TVS to predict HMP were: 60.0, 99.1, 63.2, 99.0% 68.4, 0.4; for CMP: 79.2, 99.8, 86.3, 99.6%, 421.7, 0.2; for PMP: 37.5, 99.3, 35.3, 99.4%, 54.3, 0.6.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Histology remains the gold standard for diagnosing HMP.
