Factors contributing to the increase in ectopic pregnancy through a study in jiblah university hospital from 2020 to 2022

Background: EP is a common complication and one of the causes of pregnancy -related deaths. Considering the increased prevalence of ectopic pregnancy in recent years and the increased risk factors such as assisted reproductive treatment, the present study was conducted to investigate the risk factors for ectopic pregnancy in a Jiblah University Hospital from 2020to2022. Method: A retrospective cohort research was among pregnant women attending Jiblah University Hospital, Ibb, Yemen through hospital records for the period 2020to2022 using a questionnaire form designed to collect data related to variables of research, which are housing, age, type of contraceptives, presence of pelvic diseases, presence of a previous pelvic operation, smoking, number of previous pregnancies, and first pregnancy. Data were entered using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 26 for analysis. A descriptive analysis was conducted to explore the data and present some variables. Result: Many factors influence the management option of tubal EP. In our study, we analyzed 198 cases, to evaluate factors contributing to the increase in ectopic pregnancy through a study in Jiblah University Hospital from 2020to2022 In the present study majority of ectopic pregnancies, occurred in the year 202194 (48%) comparison 60 (31%) 2020 and 40 (21%) 2022 the distribution of cases according to governorate 182 (94%) Ibb, 7 (4%) Al-Hodaydah, 3 (2%) Dhala and 2 (1%) Taiz and most of them had ectopic pregnancies, occurred in the females between age group 20-35 years (78%). There is a relationship between the use of contraception and smoking with the risk of ectopic pregnancy (This information was not mentioned in the patient's files). Found that there was a significant relationship between risk factors like pelvic surgery and the incidence of ectopic pregnancy. Conclusion: Since the incidence of ectopic pregnancy is likely to be considered an important role in future fertility, we designed this research to evaluate factors contributing to the increase in ectopic pregnancy through a study in Jiblah University Hospital from 2020 to 2022. Ectopic pregnancy is still a major challenge in obstetrical practice because of its bizarre clinical presentation and it is one of the commonest causes of pregnancy-related deaths in the first trimester. It can be diagnosed early by keeping a high index of suspicion. Despite exhaustive efforts to prevent ectopics, the numbers are constantly rising due to increased reporting of cases and improved diagnostic modalities.
