title: [Epidemiologic evaluation of the diagnosis and treatment of extrauterine pregnancy at the ABC Hospital].
abstract: The objective of this study was to determine the frequency, risk factors, treatment and morbility of the ectopic pregnancy (EP) at the ABC Hospital. EP cases occurring between January 1992 and May 1995 were studied retrospectively analyzing the next variables: Number of live births and EP's, the patients age, obstetric history, previous EP, sterility, previous pelvic surgeries, gestational age at diagnosis, treatment and complications. The results showed that the frequency of EP was 2.06% There was a positive correlation between EP and infertility, nuliparity, and previous tubal surgery secondary to EP. We concluded that even though EP tends to be diagnosed and treated in early stages, the majority of the surgical procedures lower patients fertility.
