Abstract:
Study conducted on 57 cases of complete hydatiform mole, with the average fetal age of 13.5641.04 weeks (lowest 6 weeks, highest 20.5 weeks) beta-hCG average level 1158656.16246627.71 IU/l (min 79072 IU/l, max 5474400 IU/l), volume of removed tissue – min 100 ml, max 2500 ml). Results showed that the correlation between preevacuation beta-hCG level and removed tissue volume is higher than the correlation between gestational age and the number of evacuated mole. Between preevacuated beta-hCG level and gestational age the correlation is not valuable
