Magnitude of ectopic pregnancy, management methods, and its associated factors among pregnant women attending Ambo University Referral Hospital in Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia: A seven years retrospective institutional based cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ectopic pregnancy is the implantation of a blastocyst outside of the endometrial lining of the uterus. Ectopic pregnancy can take several forms, including ovarian, abdominal, and tubal. The most prevalent place for ectopic pregnancy is the fallopian tube, which accounts for over 97.7% of all ectopic gestations. The ampulla accounts for around 80% of tubal pregnancy, followed by the isthmus (12%), fimbria (5%). Ectopic pregnancy is diagnosed with the classic triad of amenorrhea, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and a positive pregnancy test.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the magnitude of ectopic pregnancy, its management outcome, and associated factors among pregnant women attending Ambo University Referral Hospital in the Oromia Region, Ethiopia, in 2024.<
