Ectopic pregnancy: current clinical trends.
During the 16 year period ending in November, 1978, 191 cases of ectopic pregnancy were managed at the University of Virginia Hospital. The overall incidence was 1/126 deliveries but during the last 3 years of the study the incidence was 1/60 deliveries. Only 56 patients have had a subsequent conception. Thirteen have had a recurrent ectopic implantation. Only 36 women (23.7% of those available for follow-up) have had subsequent term pregnancies. Ectopic pregnancy continues to be a major gynecologic problem and the potential for subsequent fertility is poor.
