title: Incidence of ectopic pregnancy after assisted reproduction treatment.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess the ectopic pregnancy risk among women who conceived with assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures.
  
  
  METHODS
  We performed a retrospective analysis of pregnancies as a result of ART procedure at McGill University Health Center, Quebec, Canada for the period from 1997 to 2006.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The ectopic pregnancy rate was 1.6% and the heterotopic pregnancy rate was 13%. Maternal age, number of embryos transferred, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, use of assisted hatching, and Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) were not significant predictors of ectopic pregnancy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Ectopic pregnancy rate in ART pregnancies is comparable to that of spontaneous pregnancies.
