| dc.description.abstract | Ectopic pregnancy is a life-threatening gynecological emergency and a major cause of maternal mortality and morbidity all over the world. It accounts for 75% of maternal deaths in early pregnancy thus in most developing countries including Uganda, ectopic pregnancy is among the common causes of first-trimester maternal death. All identified risk factors are maternal: pelvic inflammatory disease, Chlamydia trachomatis infection, smoking, tubal surgery, induced conception cycle, and endometriosis. Nonetheless, these risk factors vary from one study to another and from place to place. | |
