Abstract

To evaluate the accuracy of a modified bedside test in ruling out an ectopic pregnancy. The test is based on a lateral flow immunoassay for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). It has been shown that a high AFP level in vaginal blood indicates the passage of fetal tissue, suggestive of a miscarriage [1]. We hypothesized that high AFP levels in sampled intrauterine tissue, assuming non-heterotopic pregnancy, rules out the presence of an ectopic pregnancy.
