Ectopic pregnancy, a rare complication involving embryo nidation outside the uterus, significantly impacts women's lives worldwide. About 95% of ectopic pregnancies occur in the Fallopian tubes. If not diagnosed early, the patient may suffer from tubal rupture, resulting in hemorrhage and lethal consequences. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is typically used to diagnose an ectopic pregnancy. However, over the last decade, monitoring beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels in ectopic pregnancy have evolved to detect ectopic pregnancy. But there are inconsistencies in its utility in monitoring or diagnosing ectopic pregnancy in clinical practice. This systematic review highlights the potential of monitoring β-hCG levels to accurately diagnose ectopic pregnancy. Furthermore, it showcases if β-hCG levels can determine effective treatment options to successfully resolve an ectopic pregnancy. We performed a literature search between January 2022 through December 2022 following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The clinical evidence demonstrated that monitoring β-hCG levels, combined with TVUS, accurately diagnosed an ectopic pregnancy. Moreover, pre-treatment β-hCG levels higher than 5000 international units per liter (IU/L), statistically significant, indicated surgical management for a successful resolution of an ectopic pregnancy. Whereas lower β-hCG levels showed successful management through expectant and methotrexate treatment. Interestingly, patients who failed non-surgical treatment developed increased β-hCG levels and required surgical intervention. However, there was conflicting evidence on whether β-hCG levels could indicate tubal rupture. Nevertheless, as highlighted in this review, monitoring β-hCG levels could be crucial in the early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. Besides, it might significantly aid in monitoring and deciding on effective treatment options for patients with ectopic pregnancy, which could be vital to saving their lives and preserving fertility.
