Determinants of reproductive prognosis after ectopic pregnancy.

The reproductive prognosis of 115 women desiring pregnancy who underwent surgery for ectopic pregnancy between 1985 and 1990 at the Clinica Luigi Mangiagalli, was analysed after a median follow-up period of 26 months (range 2-83). Probability of reproductive events was assessed by a product-limit model. Women who underwent surgery for ectopic pregnancy had a 54% probability of becoming pregnant (cumulative pregnancy rate, CPR), and a 36% probability of giving birth to a child (cumulative livebirth rate, CLB) during the 3 years after surgery.
