  • *The sum does not necessarily equal the sample size for all variables because of missing data.

  • †As the data were non-normally distributed, they were transformed into a normal distribution later with 10 at the bottom of logarithmic transformation.

  • hCG, human chorionic gonadotropin; OP, ovarian pregnancy; TP, tubal pregnancy.
