We urge researchers to avoid using age 18 as a cutoff for research inclusion since, in many jurisdictions, youth less than age 18 may provide self-consent for SRH care and research. We describe options for waiver of parental consent, waiver of signed consent, and Certificate of Confidentiality, when needed for protection of privacy or confidentiality.

The hCG trend following complete abortion was significantly different from all other outcomes (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.001), but trends did not distinguish between ectopic, ongoing pregnancy, or incomplete abortion.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion(s)</h3><div>A hCG decline of ≥80% within 7 (+/-2) days can effectively confirm complete abortion and rule out ectopic and ongoing pregnancies in early medication abortion. These results highlight the effectiveness of hCG monitoring as a reliable follow-up tool for managing VEMA without confirmed IUP.</div></div><div><h3>Implications</h3><div>This study highlights the value of hCG monitoring in early medication abortions in pregnancy of unknown location to differentiate between complete or incomplete abortion, ectopic, or ongoing pregnancy. An hCG decline of ≥80% within 7 (+/-2) days post-mifepristone can confirm complete abortion and help exclude ectopic and ongoing pregnancy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10762,"journal":{"name":"Contraception","volume":"147 ","pages":"Article 110902"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144031256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
