The observation group had higher corpus luteum PI, RI and CA125, but lower \u03b2-HCG than the control group (all P&amp;lt;0.001). Corpus luteum PI and RI were negatively correlated with \u03b2-HCG (r=-0.401, -0.465) and positively with CA125 (r=0.511, 0.492, all P&amp;lt;0.01). Multivariate logistic regression identified PI, \u03b2-HCG, and CA125 as independent predictors of failed pregnancy preservation. The combined predictor (predicted probability from the regression model) yielded an AUC of 0.931, superior to any single indicator (P&amp;lt;0.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TVCDS combined with serum \u03b2-HCG and CA125 improves the efficacy in diagnosing threatened abortion and predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes.
