Comparative Study
Race, socioeconomic status, and response to methotrexate treatment of ectopic pregnancy in an urban population
Fertil Steril.
2010 Dec.
Abstract
On the basis of the documented racial disparities in ectopic pregnancy incidence and mortality we hypothesized that African-American women with ectopic pregnancy would be more likely than white women to have treatment failure with methotrexate. In this retrospective cohort study, a racial disparity in methotrexate effectiveness was not found, but a significant relationship between low socioeconomic status and methotrexate failure was demonstrated.
