Abstract
Background: Ectopic pregnancy is a major cause of first-trimester maternal morbidity and mortality, with diagnosis and management posing persistent clinical challenges. This review evaluates the emerging role of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and multi-omics technologies in enhancing diagnosis, treatment prediction, biomarker discovery, and surgical care.
Materials and methods: A synthesis of 52 studies (1988-2026) was conducted, assessing machine learning algorithms, proteomic and metabolomic panels, multi-omics integrations, and robotic-assisted surgical outcomes using performance metrics including AUC, sensitivity, and specificity.
Results: Machine learning models achieved AUC values up to 0.929 for methotrexate failure prediction and surgical accuracies exceeding 98%. Biomarker panels combining sphingolipids and carnitines demonstrated 100% sensitivity and 95.9% specificity. Multi-omics uncovered GATA4-mediated ITGB3 dysregulation in cesarean scar pregnancy. Robotic-assisted techniques yielded cumulative pregnancy rates over 60% post-reanastomosis.
Conclusion(s): AI and multi-omics integration offer significant promise for personalized ectopic pregnancy management. However, retrospective designs and small sample sizes limit generalizability, underscoring the need for prospective multicenter validation before routine clinical adoption.
期刊介绍:
Fetal and Pediatric Pathology is an established bimonthly international journal that publishes data on diseases of the developing embryo, newborns, children, and adolescents. The journal publishes original and review articles and reportable case reports.
The expanded scope of the journal encompasses molecular basis of genetic disorders; molecular basis of diseases that lead to implantation failures; molecular basis of abnormal placentation; placentology and molecular basis of habitual abortion; intrauterine development and molecular basis of embryonic death; pathogenisis and etiologic factors involved in sudden infant death syndrome; the underlying molecular basis, and pathogenesis of diseases that lead to morbidity and mortality in newborns; prenatal, perinatal, and pediatric diseases and molecular basis of diseases of childhood including solid tumors and tumors of the hematopoietic system; and experimental and molecular pathology.
