“…Finalmente, cabe señalar que Chile ha logrado mantener las cifras de mortalidad en los últimos años (29), mérito que no desconocemos, y que forma parte del trabajo conjunto realizado por el equipo de profesionales involucrado en el área, sin embargo, debemos seguir trabajando para mejorar las estrategias de enfrentamiento en la atención que le brindamos a las mujeres afectadas (30,31). Nuestra preocupación se centra en los altos costos económicos que el EE representa para el sector salud, pero sobre todo por la calidad del cuidado para evitar las secuelas físicas y psicológicas en la mujer (30,32,33,34), las cuales aun no han sido estudiadas o reportadas en nuestro país.…”

Antecedentes: El embarazo ectópico (EE) es una de las principales causa de muerte materna durante el primer trimestre del embarazo. En las últimas décadas se registra un aumento de su incidencia. Objetivo: Establecer los factores de riesgo asociados a esta patología, en una población de mujeres chilenas. Método: Se estudió a 50 mujeres con EE y se compararon con 100 puérperas en el mismo período. Resultados: Los factores de riesgo significativos para EE fueron: antecedentes de cirugía ginecológica, antecedentes de cirugía abdominal, antecedente de DIU al momento de la concepción, número de parejas sexuales, consumo de alcohol. Conclusión: Los factores de riesgo para EE en una población chilena son similares a los descritos en la literatura internacional; se enfatiza la importancia de la derivación precoz para evitar en la mujer daños físicos y psicológicos. PALABRAS CLAVES: Embarazo ectópico, factores de riesgo SUMMARY Background: The ectopic pregnancy (EP) is one of the most important causes of maternal death during the first quarter of pregnancy. During the last decades the incidence rates have increased. Objective: This study intends to establish the risk factors associated with this pathology, within a population of chilean women. Method: 50 ectopic pregnancy women were studied, and were compared to 100 puerperal women during the same period of time. Results: The significant risk factors for EP were: antecedents of gynecological and abdominal surgeries, antecedent of IUD during conception, number of sexual couples, alcohol consumption. Conclusion: The risk factors for EP in a chilean population are similar to those described in the international literature; is emphasized the importance of the early derivation to avoid in the women physics and psychological damage.

“…Over the past few decades, the incidence of TP has been increasing in many regions worldwide . Early diagnosis of TP is somewhat difficult, because about 9% of all tubal EPs have been reported to be asymptomatic; consequently, around half of all women with tubal EP undergo urgent care for emergency complications, imposing substantial economical and psychological burdens on patients and society …”

“…3 Early diagnosis of TP is somewhat difficult, because about 9% of all tubal EPs have been reported to be asymptomatic; 4 consequently, around half of all women with tubal EP undergo urgent care for emergency complications, imposing substantial economical and psychological burdens on patients and society. 5 Emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) is a safe method of preventing unwanted pregnancies including occasional EP, and ECPs have been reported to have an efficacy ranging from 52% to 94% when used within 120 h of unprotected intercourse. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Due to a combination of factors (over-the-counter availability, easy accessibility, high efficacy, and increased knowledge), an increasing number of women who engage in unprotected sexual intercourse resort to levonorgestrel (LNG) ECPs.…”

Purpose The aim of this study was to compare chronic fallopian tubal inflammatory disease and fibrosis between patients with general tubal pregnancy (TP) and TP with levonorgestrel (LNG) emergency contraception (EC) failure. Methods We retrospectively studied patients with general TP (n = 79) and TP following LNG-EC failure (n = 81) within the same conception cycle. Information on the gynecological features of each subject was collected. Pelvic inflammatory disease and associated sequelae were assessed by the serum Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) IgG test, laparoscopic evaluation of tubal damage, and histopathological observation of tube tissues. Chi-square and Student's t-tests were employed to determine the difference between the two groups. Results Compared with general TP, cases of TP following LNG-EC failure subjects were less likely to have a history of previous ectopic pregnancy (5.06% vs. 18.52%, p = 0.009) and adnexal surgery (6.33% vs. 22.22%, p = 0.010). Patients with TP following LNG-EC failure were less likely to have pelvic inflammatory disease and associated sequelae than those with general TP, as revealed by positive reaction to anti-CT IgG (18.18% vs. 35.94%, p = 0.031), assessment of tubal damage (grade I: 5.06% vs. 17.28%; grade II: 2.53% vs. 11.11%; grade III: 1.27% vs. 6.17%; p = 0.001), infiltration of chronic inflammatory cells (10.91% vs. 62.50%, p < 0.001), and positive Masson's staining (7.69% vs. 39.58%; p < 0.001).Conclusions Compared with cases of general TP, cases of TP following LNG-EC failure exhibited reduced rates of CT infection, fallopian tubal inflammation, and/or fibrosis.
