Abstrakt: | Objective: To determine the characteristics and subsequent pregnancy outcomes in patients with a previous ectopic pregnancy (EP). Study Design: Descriptive-cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Obstetrics-Gynaecology, Etlik Zubeyde Hanim Maternity and Women's Health Teaching and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey, between January 2014 and December December 2018. Methodology: The data of nulliparous patients diagnosed with tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP) was analysed retrospectively. Reproductive outcomes within the first two years after ectopic pregnancy diagnosis were used as "short-term" reproductive outcomes. Their EP treatment and pregnancy outcome were determined. Results: Expectant management was chosen in 5.8% of the patients, while the surgical intervention was 32.3%. Medical therapy involving methotrexate (MTX) was given to the remaining patients (61.9%). The tubal rupture was confirmed in 12% of the cases that received MTX. In the 2-year follow-up period after the ectopic event, the most common outcome of the subsequent pregnancies was a live birth (47.7%). Recurrent EP occurred in 4.6%. Conclusion: The subsequent short-term pregnancy outcomes in this study were not related to the chosen treatment modality. Key Words: Ectopic pregnancy, Nulliparity, Reproductive outcomes, Treatment modalities, Expectant management. |
