| Popis: | Background: To evaluate the burden of ectopic pregnancies in our hospital over the period of one year and to evaluate the risk factors, mode of intervention and outcomes of those cases.Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted in Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Hubli over the period of one year from January 2015 to December 2015. All patients admitted with a diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, either ruptured or unruptured were included in the study. Their history, risk factors, outcome and complications were also evaluated in detail.Results: 40 patients with diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy were admitted, yielding to an incidence of 3.76/1000. Most patients presented to our hospital in a state of shock. 26(65%) were ruptured, 10(25%) were unruptured and 4(10%) were chronic ectopic pregnancies. 39 cases were managed by laparotomy and one patient by conservative method using methotrexate. Most common risk factor noted in our study was history of tubal sterilization, noted among 12(30%) women. No mortality was noted in our study.Conclusions: Ectopic pregnancy is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in first trimester. High degree of suspicion and early detection can prevent a great degree of morbidity among women, especially in women with prior tubal sterilization procedure. |
