Women were referred because of 1 or more of the following: abdominal pain, bleeding, and fever. The status of the cervix was evaluated by bimanual examination. The diagnosis of retained products of conception was made when a sonographic finding of hyperechoic or hypoechoic material was seen in any part of the uterine cavity or the presence of a thickened endometrial stripe greater than 8 mm and an irregular interface between the endometrium and myometrium was found. One hundred twenty\u2010one women (77.6%) were admitted after dilation and curettage for abortion, and 35 (22.4%) were admitted after spontaneous labor. <jats:bold><jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:bold> Histopathologic reports confirmed the diagnosis of retained products of conception in 86 (71%) of 121 women in the postabortion group and in 17 (48.5%) of 35 women in the postpartum group. The overall false\u2010positive rate for sonographic diagnosis was 34%. For women after abortion and after delivery, the false\u2010positive rates were 28.9% and 51.5%, respectively. <jats:bold><jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:bold> Reliance on common signs and symptoms to diagnose retained products of conception as well as the use of sonography is associated with an unacceptably high false\u2010positive rate, mainly after delivery. A more conservative approach to the treatment of retained products of conception is suggested.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7863\/jum.2004.23.3.371","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,9]],"date-time":"2017-01-09T23:21:43Z","timestamp":1484004103000},"page":"371-374","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":82,"title":["Role of Sonography in the Diagnosis of Retained Products of Conception"],"prefix":"10.7863","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Oscar","family":"Sadan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abraham","family":"Golan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ofer","family":"Girtler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samuel","family":"Lurie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abraham","family":"Debby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ron","family":"Sagiv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shmuel","family":"Evron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marek","family":"Glezerman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","first-page":"1337","volume":"18","year":"1894","journal-title":"Gynaekol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.1948.tb07045.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jcu.10086"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","first-page":"83","volume":"106","year":"1993","journal-title":"NZ Med J"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","first-page":"331","volume":"70","year":"1981","journal-title":"Ann Chir Gynaecol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7863\/jum.1991.10.7.387"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7863\/jum.1991.10.8.451"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1469-0705.1995.06020126.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","first-page":"507","volume":"81","year":"1993","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7863\/jum.1997.16.4.257"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000291838"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7863\/jum.2001.20.12.1277"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0015-0282(16)43568-5"}],"container-title":["Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.7863%2Fjum.2004.23.3.371","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.7863\/jum.2004.23.3.371","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,17]],"date-time":"2023-11-17T11:57:09Z","timestamp":1700222229000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.7863\/jum.2004.23.3.371"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2004,3]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2004,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.7863\/jum.2004.23.3.371"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.7863\/jum.2004.23.3.371","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0278-4297","1550-9613"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0278-4297","type":"print"},{"value":"1550-9613","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2004,3]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2003-09-23","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2003-11-18","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2004-03-01","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
