Background:
Ectopic pregnancy accounts for 1-2 percent of all pregnancies and a certain
proportion of maternal death. The incidence of ectopic pregnancies has seen more than
3-fold increase over the last 20 years. In 2004, around 70000 women in the United States were
diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy and it is one for every 250 pregnant women2. Ectopic
pregnancy case in South Korea is 17.3 per 1000 pregnant women9. In Ireland, the prevalence of the ectopic pregnancy increased from 12.8 per 1000 births in 2005 to 17.1 per 1,000 births in 20168. According to the MCHR study in Mongolia, 2.4% of total pregnant women was reported in maternal death. In Ulaanbaatar, 1.3% of the inpatient women were treated due to ectopic pregnancy and 33.7% of gynecologic surgical patients were women with ectopic pregnancy.
In 2005, 171 women were hospitalized for ectopic pregnancy and this increased to 647 in
20157. Incidence of ectopic pregnancy is increasing each year, but this type of comprehensive survey is not enough to provide a basis for selecting the subject. The objective of the study is to study the medical history of inpatient admissions with ectopic pregnancy, retrospectively.

analysis. We studied each patient’s history; total of 615 cases of ectopic pregnancy hospitalized
in the Urguu Maternity Hospital, using 5 sections of questionnaires with of 48 questions, between
1 January 2015 and 1 January 2016. We used the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences
(SPSS) 20 for data processing and estimation of survey findings.
Conclusion
As a result of this study, the highest rate of ectopic pregnancy is 3.8/100 and
the highest incidence of ectopic pregnancy was found among women aged 25-35 years,
the youngest patient was 19 and the oldest patient was 49, respectively. A 38.6% of women
