Rate of ectopic pregnancy admissions per 100,000 female population aged 15-44 (14868) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the crude rate of ectopic pregnancy admissions to hospital in women aged 15-44 years per 100,000 population (women aged 15-44 years). This is the number of hospital admissions due to ectopic pregnancy based on primary diagnosis. It is sourced from Hospital Episode Statistics (HES).
Ectopic pregnancy is a serious condition that usually results in hospital admission. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a clinical syndrome referring to infection and inflammation of the upper female genital tract which may lead to serious complications such as ectopic pregnancy and tubal factor infertility. Both PID and ectopic pregnancy have a multi-factorial aetiology although chlamydial infection and other sexually transmitted infections are considered to be major causes of both conditions. A hospital admission may be avoided if an ectopic pregnancy is detected early and successfully treated using methotrexate. The egg may also die naturally. There may be variation between Trusts in the way hospital admissions are coded. The England total includes admissions where the local authority of residence has not been recorded.
