摘要

总结:在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,公众延迟寻求医疗帮助,这可能影响了宫外孕的影响。异位妊娠是指妊娠组织在子宫内的正常位置之外生长,可能会危及生命。它可以通过非手术或手术治疗,任何寻求帮助的延误都会减少治疗的选择,并增加对更紧急管理的需求。我们想评估2019年(COVID-19前期)和2021年(COVID-19期间)某大型教学医院异位妊娠的表现和处理是否存在差异。我们发现,大流行并没有造成寻求医疗帮助的延误,也没有造成更糟糕的结果。事实上,在COVID-19期间,立即手术治疗和住院时间更少,可能是因为希望避免住院。COVID-19的一个结果是让我们放心,我们可以安全地使用更多的非手术治疗异位妊娠。

The impact of COVID-19 on the assessment and management of ectopic pregnancies.

Lay summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the public delayed seeking medical help, which may have affected the impact of having an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy is when pregnancy tissue grows outside its normal position in the womb, and it can be life-threatening. It can be treated by non-surgical or surgical options, and any delay in seeking help can reduce the options for treatment and increase the need for more urgent management. We wanted to assess whether there were differences in the presentation and management of ectopic pregnancies in a major teaching hospital between 2019 (pre-COVID-19) and 2021 (COVID-19 period). We found that the pandemic did not cause a delay in seeking medical help or cause worse outcomes. In fact, immediate surgical treatment and time in the hospital were less during COVID-19, perhaps because of a desire to avoid admission to hospital. One outcome of COVID-19 is reassurance that we can safely use more non-surgical treatments for ectopic pregnancies.
