Abstract:
Ectopic pregancy and previous induced abortions: To assess the risk of ectopic pregnancy (EP) by previous induced abortions (IA), a case control study was conducted at Tudu Obstetric and Gynecology hospital in 2000 with 160 cases of extrauterine pregnancy and 320 cases of intrauterine pregnancy under 14 weeks. The results showed that previous induced abortion was the risk of EP with odds ratio (OR) of 4.8(95% Cl: 3.2-7.2). However, we did not find any association between the number of abortions and IA with complications has had the relationship with EP. We found a 24,5 fold increases risk of EP after IA taken place in private sector or commune levels compared with IA taken in hospital or districts hospitals. Uterine curettage was the risk of EP, safe abortion and IA by no invasive procedures should be paid more attention
