title: [Is there a seasonal incidence of ectopic pregnancy?--A retrospective analysis].
abstract: The seasonal incidence of 472 ectopic pregnancies in the years 1984-1993 in the Departments Obstetrics and Gynaecology Greifswald and Neubrandenburg were analysed. While the birth rate was decreasing in the third and fourth quarter of the year there was a low, no significant increase of ectopic pregnancies from 1.30% (April-June) to 1.75% (October-December). The monthly analysis did not show any significant differences. In the area Vorpommern/East-Mecklenburg climatic and meteorological factors do not seem to have an important influence on the incidence of ectopic pregnancies.
