Training Differences Shaped The Study Idea
- Cassie Bollig described learning different management styles between residency in Missouri and fellowship in Pennsylvania.
- She recalled often drawing many betas in residency because state policy forced conservative expectant management.
Time Reveals Early Pregnancy Trajectories
- Bollig emphasized that early pregnancy HCG dynamics are biologic and variable, so single data points mislead.
- She proposed incorporating time and multiple intervals to better classify viability safely.
Apply Additive Rise Thresholds
- Use additive percent rises across intervals rather than single-interval comparisons to classify viability.
- Apply a 70% additive rise by day four and a 200% additive rise by day six to identify likely viable pregnancies.
