The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value of clinical characteristics to predict treatment outcomes in women with GTD. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, 34 patients treated for GTD at the Division of Gynaecology and Perinatology, University Medical Centre Maribor, between 2008 and 2022 were identified. Clinical and pathological characteristics were obtained by analysing patient data records. Results: Within the cohort of 34 patients with GTD, 29 patients (85.3%) had a partial hydatidiform mole (HM) and five patients545 (14.7%) had a complete HM. Two patients with a complete HM developed a postmolar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN), which represents 5.8% of all cases. Conclusions: GTD is a rare disease that is frequently asymptomatic. The subsequent consequences of GTD, which can lead to malignant transformation, as well life-threatening disease complications, warrant training for early recognition of HMs and timely treatment and surveillance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59091632","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,8]],"date-time":"2023-09-08T07:52:11Z","timestamp":1694159531000},"page":"1632","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Outcomes of Gestational Trophoblastic Disease Management: A Single Centre Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Eva Pavla","family":"Malovrh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Maribor, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3529-0509","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nu\u0161a","family":"Lukinovi\u010d","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Maribor, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1384-9487","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monika","family":"Sobo\u010dan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Maribor, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia"},{"name":"Division of Gynaecology and Perinatology, University Medical Centre Maribor, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3543-5920","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jure","family":"Knez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Maribor, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia"},{"name":"Division of Gynaecology and Perinatology, University Medical Centre Maribor, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"42","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bpobgyn.2020.12.001","article-title":"Clinical presentation and diagnosis of Gestational Trophoblastic Disease","volume":"74","author":"Lok","year":"2021","journal-title":"Best.
