We calculated sensitivity, specificity, exactness and positive and negative predictive value. Studies embraced 374 women admitted to Polish Mother's Memorial Institute in Lodz with suspicion of ectopic pregnancy. In 143 patients we recognised ectopic pregnancy in remained 231 absence of pregnancy, intrauterine pregnancy or abortion.
