Is gestational age an independent variable affecting uterine scar rupture rates?
To evaluate the influence of gestational age on uterine scar rupture. ⋯ The overall incidence of scar rupture and success of trial of scar after previous caesarean section in our population was similar to that quoted in the literature. Previous evidence has suggested that it is safe for these women to exceed 40 weeks gestation but our data do not support this.

Clinical TrialA new predictive scoring system including shock index for unruptured tubal pregnancy patients.
Shock index (SI) and predictive score grading system including it for predicting medical treatment failure of tubal pregnancies have been studied. ⋯ In this study, we demonstrated that tubal pregnancy patients who were managed with nonsurgical measures at admission and who had SI values lower than 0.77 and predictive score grades greater and equal to 6.5 did not experience tubal rupture and did not need surgical intervention during nonsurgical management.
