“…This gives a prevalence rate of 1.74% [9]. This trend was also observed in a retrospective study of trends in ectopic pregnancy in Ilorin-Nigeria by Aboyeji et al [10], where there observed that ectopic pregnancy was 1 in 69 deliveries (1.4%) at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital. This represented a one and half increase from survey conducted between 1987 and 1991 which put the incidence at 0.9%.…”

“…Our research findings are also in agreement with these findings and other [8,11] thus implicating PID as a major risk Etuknwa Bassey Tom, et al Ectopic pregnancy: An Urban experience factor for ectopic pregnancy. Other factors like previous history of abortion and history of previous ectopic gestation were also predisposing factors for ectopic pregnancy [10,37,38]. While this study is a hospital-based one with its inherent biases, we would expect that population-based (cohort studies) of this magnitude be conducted to evaluate the actual incidence of ectopic pregnancy in the population as this would give better trends.…”

“…This can be attributed to the fact that they are more prone to STDs as a result of having multiple sexual partners and they usually resort to induced abortion (which is usually performed by non-physicians resulting in complications and late presentation) from unwanted pregnancies. Patients are also unlikely to seek proper medical attention and resort to buying of drugs from patent medicine stores with the resultant effect of poor treatment leading to tubal blockage/damage [10] thus PID. Patients with ectopic pregnancy were found of a lower parity in some descriptive studies from Nigeria [12,22].…”

Objective: To determine the frequency of tubal ectopic pregnancy and to evaluate the epidemiological and common predisposing factors in cases study. To determine the mode of management of tubal ectopic pregnancy.Study Design: This is a prospective descriptive analytic study carried out from 1 January 2013 until 31 December 2013 at obstetric and gynecological unit at Al-Thawra Hospital in Sana'a, Yemen.Results: Total number of deliveries from the 1st of January 2013 till the 31st of December 2013, were a total of 9330 deliveries, out of which 103 women had tubal ectopic pregnancy creating an incidence of 1.1% of the total deliveries with a ratio of 11/1000 live births. The mean age of the patients was 27.8 yrs and ranged between 17-40 years of age. It was most common in multipara with a percentage of 78.67 54.4% of women were Qat chewers and smokers. It was more commonly found in women of low economic status with 90.3%. 30.1% of women with it had a history of abortion, 70.9% had a history of pelvic inflammatory disease, 20.8% had a history of an abdominopelvic surgery, 11.7% were using intrauterine device and 5.8% were using progesterone-only pills, 1.9% had a history of tubal sterilization, 88.3% presented with abdominal pain, 72.8% gave a history of amenorrhea, 63.1% presented with vaginal bleeding, 79.6% presented with hemodynamic instability, 86.5% were treated surgically, and 14.5% were treated medically using Methotrexate. The surgical treatment was salpingectomy in 90.4%, and 6.6% was salpingostomy. There were no maternal mortalities. Conclusion:The most common risk factors found in patients with tubal ectopic pregnancy were previous abortions and PID. The majority of the patients were treated surgically as they were lately presented in a state of hemodynamic instability. 14.5% were treated medically and this proved to be very effective.

“…It is a tragedy of reproduction and a form of reproductive failure in the index pregnancy of affected women. Such women have a 7-15% chance of recurrence and only 40-60% chance of conceiving after surgery (Aboyeji et al, 2002). Ectopic pregnancy remains a major gynaecological problem in contemporary gynaecological practice.…”
