Severe maternal morbidity in ectopic pregnancy is not associated with maternal factors but may be associated with quality of care.
To study the association between patient-related risk factors and severe maternal morbidity in women with tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP). Furthermore, to identify substandard care factors in clinical care management of EP. ⋯ No patient-related risk factors for severe intra-abdominal hemorrhage in women with tubal EP were identified. Our findings underpin the importance of awareness of EP among young fertile women and care providers and clinical care management according to the guidelines to prevent severe maternal morbidity.
