Abstract EN
Ectopic pregnancy is of increasing concern to gynecologists since it is a major cause of maternal mortality and morbidity in reproductive age women.
It occurs when the conceptus implants in an abnormal position other than the uterus.
Although the incidence of ectopic pregnancy during the 20 years studied increased five-folds, the risk of death from ectopic pregnancy declined by 90 %.
This decline might be related to the increase awareness of this condition that accompanied improved diagnostic tech¬nology and thus improved management and care.
However, ectopic pregnancy remains the leading cause of maternal mortality in first trimenster.
This study was to evaluate the management of ectopic pregnancy in the State of Qatar and the Kingdom of Bahrain in a time period from January I, 2000 to August 31, 2003.
Statistical analysis showed high incidence of ectopic pregnancy with increase in age and abortion.
Etiological factors including contraceptive usage, infertility treatment and previous ectopic pregnancy were shown to increases ectopic pregnancy rates.
In the Kingdom of Bahrain, management of ectopic pregnancy was carried by surgical salpingectomy and Laparoctomy and to a lesser extend medical Methotrexate management was also carried on.
While in the State of Qatar it was the opposite as Methotrexate was mainly used rather than the surgical treatment.
It is recommended that further investigations are needed to enhance this data and to prove the benefits of medical management over the surgical management.
