Applicability of the modified ACOG/SGO referral criteria for adnexal mass within a limited‐resource setting

Abstract

As compared with practice patterns, the modified ACOG/SGO guidelines lacked sufficient specificity for referral and might not be applicable in high-risk, low-resource settings. For this population, screening should be based on stratifying patients into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk categories to allow limited resources to be focused on women at highest risk.
