Ectopic pregnancy in Senegal affects young women, with rates varying by region. The study found a 1.20% maternal mortality rate and 2.7% morbidity, primarily from infections after salpingectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Obstetrics & Gynecology
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Ectopic pregnancy poses significant health risks in Senegal.
  • Regional disparities in ectopic pregnancy rates were observed across Senegal.
  • Data collected prospectively from January 1 to December 31, 1996.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the epidemiology and prognosis of ectopic pregnancy in Senegal.
  • To determine the national and regional rates of ectopic pregnancy.
  • To describe the epidemiological profile and outcomes of ectopic pregnancy.

Summary:

  • A total of 255 ectopic pregnancies were registered, with a national rate of 0.6% of expected pregnancies.
  • Rates varied significantly, from 0.85% in Dakar to 0.32% in Thiès.

  • The typical patient was a young woman (mean age 23) with a mean parity of 3, presenting with ruptured ectopic pregnancy (95%). Salpingectomy was the standard surgical intervention.

    • Impact:

    • The maternal mortality rate associated with ectopic pregnancy was 1.20%.
    • Post-operative infection was the primary cause of morbidity, affecting 2.7% of cases.
    • Findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and improved healthcare access in high-prevalence areas.
