“…Following plastic operations of the tube and uterus, 5 per cent of women who conceive are said to develop an ectopic pregnancy (Jones, 1966). Between 1947 and 1967, 0.6 per cent of women in the United States who presented with an ectopic pregnancy gave a history of having had a previous tubal ligation (Breen, 1970); whereas in 1972 the percentage reported to have had a previous tubal ligation increased to 5.2 per cent (Harralson et al, 1972). The latter percentage is based on small numbers (5 out of 96 patients), but suggests that tubal surgery has recently become an important cause of ectopic pregnancy.…”

Summary Data from two independent sources in England and Wales, the first based upon persons discharged from hospital and the second upon general practitioner consultations, indicate that the incidence of ectopic pregnancy has been increasing since the late 1950s, with a particularly sharp increase since 1970. Time trends in the age and regional distribution of ectopic pregnancy suggest that the increasing use of intrauterine contraceptive devices may be a major factor contributing to this recent increase in extrauterine gestations. In contrast, recent age and regional trends in tubal infection appear to be unrelated to the trends in ectopic pregnancy. The possible contribution of progestogen‐only contraceptives, induced abortion and tubal surgery to the recent increase in extrauterine pregnancy cannot be assessed from the available data.

“…Since 1970 there has been an increase in the incidence of this condition (Report on Hospital Inpatient Enquiry, 1964‐1972). The cause of the increase has been attributed to the intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD; Beral, 1975); studies elsewhere have implicated the progesterone only pill (Bergsjo et al; 1974) and previous tubal sterilisation (Harralson et al , 1972) as predisposing factors. However, during this same period there has also been an increase in the incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease.…”

The rate of ectopic pregnancies has been rising in the past decade and it is responsible for an increasing proportion of maternal deaths. A history of pelvic inflammatory disease is strongly associated with ectopic pregnancy. There is a higher rate of ectopic pregnancy among intrauterine device users than non-users. A history of abdominal surgery has been associated with ectopic pregnancy and there is some evidence that women taking certain hormonal preparations experience excess ectopic pregnancies. Through a critical review of the literature, the author explores the evidence for these associations. The paper closes with recommendations for future research.
