Abstract
Ectopic pregnancyhas been reported to be increasing in many countries in recent years. Mortality rate for ectopic pregnancy are 32 per 100,000 deliveries. Complications of ectopic pregnancy can be secondary to misdiagnosis, late diagnosis, or treatment approach.Thisstudy aimed to evaluate the rate and the management of ectopic pregnancy in Madinah Maternity and Children Hospital, Madinah, Saudi Arabia. This is a retrospective study, carried out over all the year of 2016.66 patients were confirmed cases of ectopic.Most of the patients were university educated multipara Saudi women between the age 28 and 38 years.Use of assisted techniques of reproduction seems to be the highest cause for ectopic pregnancy. Ovulation induction techniques are the highest among this group since 28 of those 30 patients (93.3%) where using ovulation induction treatments to get pregnant.The rate of ectopic pregnancy in MMCH was 3.8% of all the early pregnancy bleeding cases in 2016.More than 92% of the treated surgically patients were using laparotomy. There is a high need for further research to follow the rate of ectopic pregnancy not only in MMCH but also for the whole Saudi Arabia, with study of the causes and management.Induction of ovulation should be evaluated as a strong cause of ectopic pregnancy. Lastly, there is a need for training doctors on using laparoscopy.
